Inbetween all the mutual high fiving and backslapping over the site’s remarkable achievement of reaching two billion downloads a day, the bods at Google has managed to put together a very detailed infographic tracing YouTube’s explosive history.

Mahoosive figures

And some of the stats are hugely impressive, for example:

There’s 24 hours of content being uploaded every minute.

The average person spends 15 minutes a day on their website.

More video is uploaded in 60 days than all 3 major US networks have created in 60 years (although some may suggest the quality of YouTube’s content may be a tad under par at times).

There’s also a list of their ten most subscribed video channels, most of which we’ve never heard of.

Here’s that massive 5,880 pixel long infographic, for your mouse scrolling pleasure
