Historically, comScore combined total video views (content and ads), giving a skewed count of video activity. When Nielsen issued their figures some time ago, I inquired with the two firms and comScore confirmed that their count was for all video views (content and ads).
Today I see smaller absolute figures coming out of comScore’s data, but nothing changes really:
YOUTUBE owns the video market.
- 80% of total viewers watch videos on YouTube
- 35% of all views come on YouTube.
These are massive figures that only reinforce and remind us all of YouTube’s dominance in video.
Disclosure: WatchMojo has a big content partnership with YouTube.
