The fastest growing channels on YouTube are using AI in every single video.
Here are some interesting stats:
→ 500+ hours of content hit YouTube every minute
→ Over 20% of YouTube content is now AI-generated
YouTube has quietly become an AI first platform. The creators growing fastest aren't the ones with the biggest budgets or the best cameras. They're the ones who can publish consistently at scale.
That's what VidRush does, full YouTube videos, fully made with AI, from start to finish.
The window to get ahead of this wave is closing fast.

84% of creators are already using AI tools in 2026.
Top earning creators use AI twice as frequently as everyone else. And they're seeing 2–5x higher engagement because of it.
There's a divide between those who use AI, and those who don’t.
The numbers show it:
→ Over 1 million YouTube channels used AI creation tools every single day in December 2025
→ 68% of creators plan to expand their AI usage even further in 2026 and beyond
→ The creators pulling ahead aren't working harder, they're producing more, faster, and at a higher standard
AI isn't replacing creators. It's separating the ones who adapt from the ones who don’t.
At VidRush, we're building for the best creators, fully AI powered from start to finish.
The gap is only getting wider.
