YouTube game videos were viewed for 50 billion hours in 2018

YouTube Gaming has become a huge part of internet culture in recent years, and that was visible at The Game Awards this week

Every day, more than 200 million people view gaming content on YouTube. That’s like the entire country of Brazil heading to YouTube every day. And in the past year, people watched more than 50 billion hours of gaming videos on YouTube. That’s almost twice the total time Americans spend commuting to work in a year.
