New source with an estimate for total number of videos, statistics about view counts, categories, etc.
Latest comment: 2 months ago4 comments2 people in discussion
YouTube is famously difficult to research, and doesn't typically share basic information about the content it holds. There's a new paper in the Journal of Quantitative Description: Digital Media that takes aim at these kinds of fundamental questions about the site by generating and analyzing a large random sample: Total number of videos, growth over time, mean/median view/like/comment/subscriber counts, category distribution, etc. The paper is very long, but the conclusion summarizes key findings and there's a table of key statistics in the appendices.
I have a COI, which is why I'm putting it here (and on the history talk page) instead of adding it myself, but it seems like a logical addition to the article.
Oh, and while the journal, which is open access, is licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, I'm pretty confident there wouldn't be an issue getting any of the figures uploaded to Commons with a compatible license if requested. Cheers. — Rhododendritestalk \\ 16:00, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
@Bremps: To respond to your comment, yes it is peer reviewed. Maybe it would help if I formulated an {{edit COI}} request rather than hope someone else will dig through the work. :) — Rhododendritestalk \\ 16:50, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
Great! I'll just add in the info if it's peer-reviewed, then. Bremps... 21:44, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
Super. It looks like you accidentally cited an older, already-cited source for it ([1]), though. Also, to be clear, the peer reviewed estimate in the paper is 10 billion based on data from the end of 2022. 14 billion is an updated figure from mid-December 2023. It's reliable, based on the research in the paper (and I think The Atlantic is typically considered reliable for such things), but that figure has not gone through a peer review process. FWIW. — Rhododendritestalk \\ 01:37, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

IRL versus online

Propose to split article into: (1) RealLife history & business and (2) online usage structure & content. 3MRB1 (talk) 02:30, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
This article currently has 8 sections. Are you suggesting to collapse it to two? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 02:46, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
@Barkeep49 it seems to be a logical way of organizing the information in the article, or separating into two articles. not to collapse but to re-layout the hierarchy of presentation. 3MRB1 (talk) 05:53, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
We're always going to have a YouTube article because our readers (millions of them every month) will want it and YouTube obviously passes our criteria for inclusion. Multiple other topics - include 1 or 2 by me - have been spun off of this one. so in that sense sure we can spin off stuff that goes into more detail than a YouTube summary would deserve. But I'm still unclear what impact your proposal would have @3MRB1. Barkeep49 (talk) 14:32, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
Technical issues with YouTube.
Latest comment: 7 days ago2 comments2 people in discussion
There needs to be a section concerning technical issues with YouTube. It is a known fact that for a long time, people have been having problems posting comments on any YouTube channel. I had contacted them on two separate occasions and they refuse to fix the problem. Nosehair2200 (talk) 04:38, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
These would have to be discussed in reliable secondary sources, not just based on what users say. Masem (t) 04:42, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
