The answer
500 hours
Roughly 500 hours of video are uploaded every minute — about 82 years of footage per day. Watching a single day of uploads back to back would take you past the end of your life. YouTube has not updated the figure publicly in some time, and Shorts have almost certainly pushed it higher.
