Each month, the world watches 4 billion hours of YouTube video. And many people catch those clips during work breaks, while commuting or sneaking them in at the office.
Before I started working at Mashable, I was probably still a significant contributor to this number. I don't sneak videos in between breaks at work, because I'm too busy sleeping, breathing and eating. (Plus, I think about YouTube videos for a living.) This is normally the part when someone jokes that I get paid to watch cat videos all day, but that is a myth that seriously needs to be debunked.
Let's say I spent 2.5 hours per work day watching YouTube videos. (It's a conservative number, believe it or not.) Over 52 weeks — give or take a couple days, so we'll say 245 — that would mean I spent 613 hours watching YouTube videos this year.
