Your stat about Youtube is wrong. It’s 300 hours. Get your cat videos right! lol https://www.youtube.com/yt/press/statistics.html
Thanks Walt! I guess that’s what I get for getting my stats from another source than the horses mouth. In this case the horse is YouTube. Corrected and the cats are purring again.
Hello Eric,
Nice facts. Care to share your sources? Thanks!
Kevin
Thanks Kevin, All sources are cited on the individual graphics, we just didn’t want to clog up the visuals with individual links. Cheers!
Hi Eric,
Would you mind posting the reference link from the comScore state that says “64% of consumers are more likely to buy a product after watching a video about it.” I’d like to link it to a blog article. Thanks!
Hi Stacy – Unfortunately it was from a white paper at comScore published a year ago which does not have a public link. It’s cited here and on numerous other sites, all of which didn’t include a link to the comScore stat. Linking to this may be your best bet for simplicity. Sorry but I wish you all the best!

Number 14. James McQuivey (Forrester Research) is an idiot. Here’s his formula: There are sixty seconds in a minute. Video, at 30 frames (or pictures) per second = 1,800 frames. If “a picture is worth a thousand words” then you get your 1.8 million words. Hello?
This is totally irrelevant to your conversation. A poorly produced video is essentially worthless because nobody will watch it.
What none of these “statistics” take into consideration is the quality of the video. The amount of time someone will watch a video has absolutely nothing to do with its length. It’s content that counts and a reasonable presentation of the material. After all, we’ll sit down and watch a TWO HOUR movie, just for entertainment alone.
Hey Paul thanks for commenting! I think the gist of what Dr. McQuivey is saying is that content in a video is retained far greater than something you read. It’s been proven in many studies that the brain is more engaged watching and listening to a video than it is in just reading. Is Dr. McQuivey’s math right? Probably not. But is the sentiment right? I think so.
I also disagree that quality of video and has nothing to do with the video’s length. If it’s a bad quality video or bad content that just isn’t interesting, doesn’t that lead to shorter view times? Even the video content is interesting and well produced viewers reach a point where you need to move them to the next logical step. If you keep droning on and on you lose them.
I get your point about two hour movies but these stats aren’t related to entertainment, they’re related to video marketing content. No one is going to watch a two hour marketing video…I can pretty much guarantee that.
