Googling for “site:youtube.com/watch” gives 6,820,000 hits.
Googling for “site:youtube.com/watch rickroll OR “rick roll” OR “rick astley” OR “give you up”" gives 31,800 hits
31,800/6,820,000 = 0.0046
So, about .5% of youtube’s videos are rickrolls! Thats about 1 in 200 for you kids that need to relearn your algebra.
Assuming each video is 4 minutes long (this is not exactly right, of course), youtube has:
(31,800*4/60/24) = 83.3 days worth of RickRolls.
AND this only includes the videos that have rickroll mentioned somewhere in the title or the comments, so it is almost guaranteed that the real number is higher, since real RickRolls aren’t tagged that way.
I think my math is right here – if anyone thinks theres a mistake in my Googling or math, let me know?

dude, we have 446 posts and two of them (including this one) are RickRolls. That means one out of every 223 posts has some Rick. That’s close to .5% (closer to 4%), and assuming it takes you approx. 3 years to mentally process each of our 2 Rick posts, then that’s 6 years of RickRolls on our site.
That also means that we have 1,338 years of random crap.
Wow.
Lol… ok so I have never heard of this ‘rick rolls’ character…. so I the curious person that I am, look him up…… and wtf…. did I just get rolled?
Your maths seems correct…. that doesn’t make this whole concept right tho (uh but then again, with all the filth on the internet, what an extra 83 days worth ey?)
Keep up the good work
!
Cheers..
