U.S. viewers watched 36.9 billion videos


People in the U.S. have an insatiable appetite for watching online videos.
According to new numbers released by market research firm ComScore, 85.5 percent of people in the U.S. with Internet access watched online videos in July -- that's 184 million people who watched a total of 36.9 billion online content videos in only one month. For comparison, that is equal to every single person on Earth watching at least five videos each.
And U.S. viewers' venue of choice is Google, which is not really surprising given the growth and popularity of YouTube. However, what is surprising is that the No. 2 spot goes to Facebook. This isn't the first time the social network has gotten so high on the video chart, but it's been a while since it last took this spot.
