To paint a picture of how many Minecraft videos are being streamed on the popular video streaming giant, it’s about 42 million videos to be exact. To add injury to insult, “Minecraft” is the second-highest search term on the website beating out phrases like “funny cat videos” and “fail.” Should we be concerned?
