  • In this data visualization I look at the most-viewed videos on UA-cam since its inception. Many of the earlier uploads have been deleted but their stats can accessed using archive.org . Those in which the counting stops in the bar race were deleted. This list comes from Wikipedia and Archive.org
    Thank you for watching!

      True, my cousin always play this song to her baby everytime she need to clean house or cooking. I'm sick of this song when I was visit them, up to 8 times during daylight and several times even after midnight. Parents nowadays couldn't handle their kid personally, need YT help 😂

    It's kinda questionable that videos for little kids are the most watched ones nowadays.

I know, times change, but I still think there should be no space for kids this young (up to 6 or 7 years of age) to even be on the internet.

    its amazing to see the evolution of the videos trending on YT. started out as whatever people could upload, then into music videos for ages, now with the new style of parenting (not all but a large majority now) using UA-cam videos just to shut their kid up and make them stop annoying them. I saw it the other day in the restaurant I work in. their food was minutes from going out and the parents pull out 2 tablets and 2 phone and gave them to the kids just so they don't have to parent (4 kids). One had a keyboard and headset, playing games with his mates i think, and no when the food arrived the kids stayed on the devices. i personally find it lazy for the parents and super disrespectful and I'm only 23. rant over.
