YouTube will never run out of video links. Even if every person on Earth uploaded
a video every single second for the next 100,000 years straight, there would still be unused IDs available.
The system uses 64 different characters in an 11 character combination. That creates more
possible links than there are atoms in your body. More than grains of sand on every
beach. We're talking about trillions upon trillions of combinations. So that random string
of letters and numbers you see in every YouTube URL? It's basically infinite. Your great great
great grandchildren will still have unique video IDs. Wild how something so simple is actually
engineered to last longer than human civilization itself.
