If you to a search for:

"*" you get 73,800,000 results
“com” you get 73,800,000 results

this symbols can be used to “search all vids” Do you think this is accurate or are there more vids? I think it is fairly accurate but with all the people that go onto youtube and its popularity suggests there are more vids than that but what does 73.8 million videos mean to you?

I wrote an article on my website on how you could calculate the total hard drive space it takes to store those videos: http://digital-orb.com/ytsc.html

it’s owned by Google, a multi-billion dollar corporation.

They can pay for it and barely put a dent in their budget.

is causing chaos.
