In a surprising turn of events YouTube has been bumped down to the number two spot for online video views. According to comScore, Facebook racked up over a billion more video views than YouTube in September. This move is mainly the result of Facebook’s somewhat new auto-play feature that plays videos as soon as they appear on your screen, which definitely raises many questions about how the actual viewer engagement. However, when you just look at the numbers “Facebook displayed 12.3 billion videos to people browsing on their desktops and Desktop YouTube videos were displayed 11.3 billion times in August, 2014.”
What’s even more fascinating and perhaps impressive is that just over a year ago “in June of 2013 Facebook was only showing 700 million videos.” Facebook has experienced an explosion of growth since then despite being already so big at the time. Interestingly enough during that same time period of between June 2013 and August 2014, “YouTube experienced a decline in views from 15.7 billion views to 11.3 billion views.” It’s important to note that these statistics are only for desktop views, when you add Google’s web mobile properties to the pictures Facebook is still behind quite a bit.

I call bs, facebook autoloads tons of videos in your timeline that nobody watches.
Hi,
Facebook videos are on a huge rise.
I myself have been watching more videos on it aswell as there’s always lots of videos to watch on the homepage.
Thanks
hey my friend, i was just surfing the net looking for some reliable information and I happened across your blog. Im truly awed by the information you have provided on your website. I see how well you know this topic. I stored your blog to my favorite sites, and will be coming back frequently. Thanks.
First of all I would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick
question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.
I’ve had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.
I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted just
trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
Appreciate it!
My quick advice would be that your first 10 minutes or so should be used for brainstorming your subject (that is of course if you haven’t already come up with a subject previously). Good luck! Remember, one step forward is just that – progress!
