Today I learned consumers watch 10 billion videos a year!
Trailers have become inextricably linked with not only every movie theater experience, but online marketing. Every year on the Internet, consumers watch ten billion videos -- and of these videos, movie trailers constitute the third most-watched category, behind only news and user-created content.
That ten billion videos link is hilarious.
Wait, what about music videos?
Apparently not in the top 3 categories. Go figure.
