On a typical day, 19 percent of U.S. Internet adults watch some form of video. News ranked first and comedy second overall according to the Pew Internet and American Life Project.
Mary Madden, a senior research specialist at Pew, said news websites were key to making people feel comfortable with watching video on the internet, but younger viewers in particular were the primary attraction for younger viewers.
Older demographics are interested primarily in news, while younger viewers, who watch more online video anyway, appear to prefer comedy.
Those in the 18-29 age group are also more likely to have paid for video access at some point - but that's still only 10 percent of online video viewers in that group, slightly more than the 7 percent across all age groups.
This would seem to indicate that if Streaming video is going to be profitable, either a new marketing strategy or alternate revenue stream will need to be developed.

I think if the people they asked were honest, news would be 2nd. Porn in 1st.

By online video, I assume they mean streaming directly online. Not counting downloads.

The way Australian free to air TV is at the moment i would just have one TV night that i would spend 3 hours straight in front of the box. Other than that i also torrent my shows cause i either do not have the time to watch the shows or just cant handle the crappy ads.
