Minecraft News: 1,000,000,000,000 Views On Youtube!

My friends this video is no normal minecraft news video you see on youtube we have hit 1 trillion views of minecraft videos which is absolutely absurd when you think about it so over on the youtube channel this video has been published 1 trillion minecraft views on youtube and counting and also

On the culture and trends part of the website this article has been published and it is absolutely fascinating we’re going to have a look through it in this video there is also a teeny tiny bit of minecraft 1.19 news that i’ll cover at the end of this video but for the most

Part this is going to be like my assumer says videos where i just have a waffle about a topic and we’re mostly going to do that while we check out this page that just has tons of very interesting statistics and information about the evolution of views on minecraft and i’m

Honestly really excited to talk about this because i mean one trillion it’s kind of historic to hit this landmark let me just put it into perspective a little bit they say that a million seconds is around 10 days and that a billion seconds is around 31 years but a trillion that is 31

500 odd years so let’s get into it shall we one trillion views can you count those zeroes there’s 12 of them and the website starts off with this little calculator right here where you can type in how many minecraft videos you think you’ve watched i don’t know how many i

Have but 99 999 is the most you can actually put in and when you put in a number it brings up this little graph right here and you can see that you’ve contributed very little to the overall amount of minecraft viewership and this of course prompted me to have a look at

My social blade statistics and see how many video views i’ve racked up we are approaching 500 million views that’s half a billion that absolutely blows my mind i can barely believe it and when i put that number into a percentage calculator out of the trillion views on youtube it is just under 0.05

So yeah i guess that’s my contribution 0.05 i’m actually incredibly proud of that that’s amazing and there are 7.9 billion people on the planet so that means on average everyone’s watched 126 and a half minecraft videos and the average person has watched 0.06 of my videos and if you’re

Wondering how youtube figured out all of this they have over 12 years worth of daily uploads data that they’ve gone through and compiled together to land on this one trillion number and the first part of this article breaks it down into trends so particular types of minecraft content that becomes popular over time

And this graph may look like it’s accumulative meaning it can only grow more views over time you can’t take those away that’s not quite what’s happening here because if we look at the role play category you can see that there’s a big boom between 2016 and 18

And then it starts to head into a bit of a decline over here but in terms of overall viewership it’s at an absolute peak according to this right here and let’s run for each of the categories you’ve got 100 days that has been become very popular over the last year

Animation has been kind of a long standing one then we have the emergence of minecraft but which tends to use mods and things of that nature to turn some minecraft concepts on its head we’ve got parody very slim included here there’s very little parody content although we

Are talking about a trillion views then you’ve got the role play category we’ve got survival games and hunger games i remember having kind of a big deal all the way back here in 2014 and if we were to zoom on that you’d probably see this is like a large portion of the content

Then speed run has really just emerged over the last couple of years as its own category that’s picking up popularity and then we’ve got the classic survival multiplayer that’s always been there and continues to grow and i’ve got to say i would have loved to have seen a couple

More categories in there redstone would have been really cool maybe even parkour and then you’ve got like java and bedrock and pocket edition i mean the more data the better right you can also filter this chart by location which reveals some interesting trends you can see in brazil that animation content is

Really popular in egypt its survival and hunger games is just absolutely booming and then as we flick through here you’ll see some sort of other trends you’ll see in india that the minecraft content has really only just emerged over the last few years and the most curious one to me

Is south korea because you can see there is a big boom of activity around 2017 it then kind of dies down a bit and then comes back again so the next part of this website starts to break things down year by year and it puts it into two

Categories you can choose to look at you’ve got videos and you’ve got creators and so to see 2010 here are names like pulsars junior david angel who i believe was the one known as x and then c nana’s these are names i’ve heard over and over again for people first

Getting into minecraft for me it was doc m and static7 and ifo were some of the first channels that i watched but this guy right here really nice to see some big recognition for kirsha the guy who actually invented the concept of mob farming the ox caster also here so is

Captain sparkles and if you’ve been playing this game as long as i have you’ll probably come back over here and recognize quite a few names from back in the day and again we have the filter by location over here if we switch to some of these other countries you can see

That the content was mainly emerging from the uk and the us and i would have never thought to put a number on it but back in 2010 it had already reached a billion views and so over here on the left the text tries to sort of summarize

What was going on in the community at that time the explosion of the popularity of the yogscast with their shadow of israel if please forgive me if i’m misremembering that answer having a flick over some of these channels is very nostalgic to see names like ant venom sapling hat films

And fe discos down here as well then in 2012 we go from 14.6 billion up to 35.5 there’s mention of i has cup quake organizing the hunger games and also hermitcraft is mentioned here as well because this is the year that we were established so then 35 to 72 in 2013 and

Rightly so mini games and mods being a large part of what happened over this time and of course the explosion of sky does minecraft who was just absolutely raking in attention at that point in time so then 2014 72 to 135 billion they point out dantdm and stampy longhead as the dominant personalities

That sounds absolutely right to me they were incredibly popular at that point in time as long as we’ve captain sparkles and yeah popular mmos this is another channel it’ll absolutely blow up and if you’re over there on the website having a flick through yourself it’s just always amazing how big this community is

There are just loads of channels with tons of views that i’ve never even heard of before so then by the 2015 all the way up to 217 billion views not quite as much to say here just pointing out that minecraft’s popularity is more visible and mainstream this was more of a

Business as usual time perhaps with less trends emerging and maybe that’s more reflective of my own personal experience at this point in time because i was not consuming probably as much minecraft content as i once did and again just going through here there are so many channels that i’ve never even heard of

Before that have just raked in some incredible viewership so then from 311 to 422 things were strengthening up in 2017 and as it hits on here the game had become very popular over in brazil there’s a similar story to be said of 2018 the year where we hit 500 billion

Views of minecraft videos so half of it has really just come in the last couple of years and again i’ve not got much else to comment on here because i just don’t know who any of these channels are and i think it’s fair to give props to pewdiepie at this point in

Time in 2019 the renaissance was really kicked off by him uh sort of coming back to the game although had never really played it massively in the past as far as i understand it and also you’ll notice right here mumbo jumbo and grian popping up on the map now then in 2020

Props are given to dream and speed running and the dream is actually not one of the biggest channels at this point in time there are other larger channels out there which is fascinating you can see mumbo and green are still hanging in here and then they’ve defined 2021 as evolution with

Another mention for the dream s p but also hermit crafts in there as well and in my opinion it was 2020 that was really the year of hermitcraft with season seven absolutely blowing up right during the beginning of the lockdowns and all of that but it’s nice to be mentioned in any

Context it’s really wonderful to see now you can also filter all of this content by a video but i am completely lost in this area there may be one or two early videos i recognize in this sort of region but the further down you

Go the more add a loss i am as i’ve always been in more of a niche area of the minecraft community with like redstone and watching let’s plays then i have been watching parodies and music videos and all of that and one last thing i want to land on is that it

Doesn’t actually tell us the moment that we hit 1 trillion views it’s just written here at the beginning of 2021 i would love to know the actual date that we surpassed that maybe it literally was just today so i think at this point in time no one’s going to deny that

Minecraft is a cultural force of its own but it came about with a perfect storm of events the attitude towards letting people modify the game creating content with it monetizing that content and of course youtube being there along the way for people to share everything was sort

Of the perfect storm for it to rise up as it has done and changed the world of gaming and media forever anyways i feel like i’ve been talking about that for ages and i did mention there’d be a tiny bit of 1.19 content right and this is it

We have a tweet from king b dogs here saying when the squad hops into town and that’s not all of it because lady agnes shared this video earlier in the week which i thought was absolutely wonderful mainly because it’s so derpy so let’s have a watch

I mean i don’t even know what’s going on here but i imagine this is what happens in coding strange things tend to happen what’s weird is how they just seem to leap off of the ground and start to swing things around in the air and then when future frogs are placed down

They’re not even dirt out on the ground they’re immediately derped out in the sky so you know just part of the process i guess and if you’re hungry for a little bit more 1.19 related news in release candidate 2 video and the public service announcement over the critical issues

That recently got fixed there was some 1.19 content you can find it here on the channel so i will leave you with a request what does this one trillion number mean to you leave a comment down below and if you want to continue watching youtube reckons that you’ll

Like one of these videos so give them a click and check them out thanks for watching see you later bye-bye
