Gregory's ServerHow big is YouTube? It's a hard question: it took us almost two years to solve it. But now we know, and we've published a big paper in the Journal of Quantitative Description: https://journalqd.org/article/view/4066

Expect lots more from me on YouTube and what it means to study the long tail of the internet - the quotidian web - when I'm no longer knocked on my back with COVID.

It's wild that such a basic question that all governance systems start with — how much is there to govern — has been so absent from conversations about governing online platforms.
