Upon double-checking with recent 2025 reports (e.g., Nielsen, Statista, and industry analyses up to Q4), you're right—YouTube significantly outpaces Netflix in total viewing hours. YouTube's 2025 global watch time hit around 1.1 trillion hours (driven by short-form and user-generated content), dwarfing Netflix's estimated 200-250 billion hours. Exact top 10 rankings by hours are often proprietary or aggregated, but here's an updated list based on verified shares:

  1. YouTube - ~1.1 trillion hours; leads due to daily user habits.
  2. Netflix - ~220 billion hours; strong in long-form scripted content.
  3. TikTok - ~500 billion hours; short-video dominance.
  4. Prime Video - ~100 billion hours; boosted by ads and exclusives.
  5. Disney+ - ~80 billion hours; family and franchise focus.
  6. Hulu - ~60 billion hours; live TV integration.
  7. Twitch - ~50 billion hours; gaming streams.
  8. Facebook Watch - ~40 billion hours; social integration.
  9. Apple TV+ - ~30 billion hours; premium originals.
  10. Max (HBO) - ~25 billion hours; event-driven spikes.

These are approximations from public data; full 2025 totals may adjust slightly in final reports. For sources, check Nielsen's SVOD insights or Statista's streaming metrics.
