According to YouTube, if each view lasted only a second, there would be almost 30,000 years of viewing time.
“As our statistics reveals, it took this community about eight years to acquire 500 billion views, but just two or three more years to double that and reach one trillion,” YouTube adds.
“We can only speculate on what future heights they will reach, but as with this milestone, it will be entertaining to witness.”
It also mentions that the rate at which views are collecting is fast increasing, implying that reaching the 2 trillion mark may not take as long as previously thought.
Over 200 million copies of the original Minecraft have been sold. While Minecraft Earth, a location-based spin-off game, stopped in June owing to COVID-related concerns, Minecraft Dungeons, a 2020 release, achieved 10 million players across all supported platforms in February.
