People Who Watch More Alternative Video Watch Less Pay TV: Parks

While much research has been devoted to the amount of subscription and transactional video people watch, less attention has been given to the rest of the video ecosystem—the short-form YouTube and Vimeo clips, or the events live streamed through a browser. Research company Parks Associates sheds light on the area, finding that broadband-enabled homes in the U.S. watch an average of two hours of "alternative content" through a computer each week. Popular sources include Facebook, Snapchat, YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion. Roughly half watch user-generated video each month, and 10 percent stream live video.
