It's now a place where musicians can post official music videos, and influencers can make a lot of money when their videos capture enough force.
If you don't get that benchmark from the 2009 Video Music Awards, that's okay. It just shows that two generations haven't experienced the same viral moments. New content is posted up to the minute, and we all do our best to keep up.

In order to keep you in the loop, I've compiled this list of the 10 best YouTube videos of all time. How do we know they are in the top 10? Because they have somewhere between millions and billions of views from media consumers around the world.

In other words, these are the most viewed videos on the whole internet. And here I am, I feel popular after 200 people saw my Instagram story.
