YouTube has become an online media powerhouse for people of all ages and from every walk of life. Expanding high-speed data networks, the rise of internet-enabled smartphones, and social media have all contributed to YouTube&#8217;s phenomenal growth. However, despite its massive popularity, there are still many questions to answer.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_has_over_2_billion_monthly_active_users\"><\/span>YouTube has over 2 billion monthly active users<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube is one of the most popular video-sharing websites, with over two billion monthly active users. According to Statista, more than half of the world&#8217;s internet users use the site monthly. Its users span all age groups, and are not limited to a specific country or language. In fact, the site&#8217;s videos are available in 80 languages, including some not commonly spoken by Americans. Approximately two-thirds of its content is in other languages, while about a fifth is in English.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_is_the_second_most_visited_website_in_the_world\"><\/span>It is the second most visited website in the world<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Google, the company that owns YouTube, has surpassed YouTube in terms of total visitors, surpassing it as the second most popular website in the world. With a billion-plus monthly visitors, YouTube is now the most popular website in the world, and it&#8217;s no surprise that Google has surpassed its own site in popularity. Despite YouTube&#8217;s popularity, rival websites like Twitch and Vimeo remain relatively small compared to the global reach of the popular video website.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_is_popular_with_every_age_group\"><\/span>It is popular with every age group<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The popularity of YouTube varies by gender and age group. For example, younger women are more likely to be using YouTube than older women. The youngest users of YouTube are girls, with 17.2 percent of all visitors being between the ages of 13 and 17. In contrast, the oldest users, aged 65 and older, are the highest proportion of YouTube viewers. Men, meanwhile, use the site mainly for self-help and gaming information.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_is_a_media_powerhouse\"><\/span>It is a media powerhouse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube is a media powerhouse, attracting billions of users a day and delivering hundreds of millions of hours of content every single day. YouTube&#8217;s rapid growth has not come without some challenges, and a recent controversy has exposed some issues with user safety. For instance, the site&#8217;s management has begun debating topics that were once deemed &#8220;off limits&#8221; for its audience. A spokeswoman for the site said Google CEO Sundar Pichai is more involved in YouTube operations. He has been minimally involved in its operations over the past four years, and is now becoming more involved in the day-to-day operations of the site.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_has_a_wide_reach\"><\/span>It has a wide reach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The popularity of YouTube has become so great that marketers have taken notice. YouTube is used by people of all ages and demographics, with more than one billion people accessing the site each month. This wide reach has a lot of advantages for advertisers, not the least of which is the lower cost per click than other advertising options. Moreover, the statistics show that people on YouTube are more visual than television viewers, which translates to higher ROI for advertisers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_is_a_mobile_app_and_a_website\"><\/span>It is a mobile app and a website<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube is a website and mobile app, but how does one use them? If you&#8217;re not sure, let&#8217;s start by defining what a video is. A video is a collection of images, sounds, or texts that are accompanied by an embeddable HTML. This HTML can be used anywhere, from a personal blog to social networking pages. You can also embed a video from YouTube on another site. You can also post videos on YouTube in response to other users&#8217; videos. Each video has a unique ID, consisting of 11 characters. It is possible to have as many as 6411 different ids.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_supports_80_languages\"><\/span>It supports 80 languages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube subtitles have expanded to support more languages and are now completed in real time. YouTube hopes to reach 80 million subtitled videos within 10 years. The technology behind YouTube subtitles comes from the recent acquisition of DeepMind by Google in 2014. The company developed an artificial intelligence system for analyzing audio and text. DeepMind&#8217;s system is now used to translate self-generated subtitles. The company is now working to support 80 languages and 100 regions.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v_ZpIEsDTl4\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"366\" height=\"204\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Many Users Does YouTube Have?
