Mobile Drives Ad Spend & Content Creation, But Hurdles Remain

What's more, Parks Associates found that about seven in 10 Americans watch a short video on their phones each day. Meanwhile, 20% of mobile video viewers spend a half hour or more watching short-form videos, such as music videos or YouTube clips.

This all sounds well and good, but the road ahead will be paved with some potholes. One of the biggest is the growth in ad avoidance technology. About 20% of smartphone users now block ads on their mobile Web browsers, a 90% increase over the year before, according to PageFair, a technology and analytics firm.
