They made a estimate of how many words are there in every youtube video uploaded. That estimate is calculated by the total runtime of all the videos multiplied by average word count in a conversation per given time. And the total words are devided by the number of words in a average book. To get a 'books size'.
I don't know, but that just seems kinda iffy. First youtube videos are rarely a back and forth conversation. And secondly it's like pointing to a skyscraper and saying it's like a big sandcastle because sand is used in concrete.
Edit: grammar and added the 'word count' estimate explanation.
