Creators are shocked – YouTube ducks

If you want to be successful on YouTube, it can be worth it to shock and be controversial. But a recent example shows how easily people can get caught in the platform’s gray areas.

Every minute, 24/7, about 500 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube. The Google-owned video service has become the second largest search engine in the Western world. Who is actually watching all this material?

The question is difficult to answer. The differences between super celebrities who draw millions of views and home filmmakers with single-digit viewership are enormous.
