This is beside the point, but I want to bring it up because I think it's important to remember we live in a bubble.
A majority of people on earth are not Youtube users. Only ~60% of the world's population uses the internet[1], and of those, I'd assume a significant portion lack the bandwidth to stream video. Also, Youtube is blocked in China.

- palmer_fox 3y agoI doubt "we take action to protect the community" has a clear legal definition. Their "community" could be people without an internet connection too (e.g. everyone in Los Angeles because they have an office there). Since this is obviously not about their "community" but about protecting the brand, I doubt they have put much thought into defining any of the terms in the statement.

India has the most youtube users at 570M+, though the US is highest in youtube traffic. Japan also has high youtube traffic per capita. https://www.globalmediainsight.com/blog/youtube-users-statistics/ https://www.globalmediainsight.com/blog/youtube-users-statis...

- benj111 3y agoThe GGP said > But the thing is, a majority of people on Earth are Youtube users, so what the heck does that even mean. The GP challenged this. The parent defended this by point out the 1/3rd figure. I pointed out that 1/3rd isn't a majority so the GGP was still wrong. So yes I agree. X or Z aren't 'the majority' of Y.

- Eldt 3y agoYou need to read the full thread to get the context. The claim being disputed is the following > But the thing is, a majority of people on Earth are Youtube users, so what the heck does that even mean? "Majority of people on Earth" is not the same thing as "majority of internet users"
- benj111 3y agoIf you read the quote in my comment, that you're responding to > But the thing is, a majority of people on Earth are Youtube users, so what the heck does that even mean "majority of people on Earth are Youtube users"
