YouTube remains the most popular video hosting, Facebook loses ground

Last month, video hosting YouTube secured the title of the most popular video hosting, at least among Americans. At the same time, Facebook has become less popular among users who prefer to watch videos and share them with their friends. Analytical agency Nielsen presented these and other results in its latest report, Top US Online Destinations for Video.



In general, the big surprise is that YouTube remains the most popular video platform, no. However, the second and third places were taken by VEVO and Yahoo !, and this is not so predictable. After all, only recently, Facebook was very popular among fans of watching videos in online mode. Now the brainchild of Zuckerberg ranks only fourth, yielding to the third position of Yahoo.

It is logical that having lost some visitors who want to watch the video, Facebook has lost several steps in the position of one of the leaders in the number of video streams given away. According to this indicator, Facebook is not even in the top ten. At the same time, YouTube takes the first place in this position.



Despite the fact that Facebook is losing ground as a video platform, the social functions of this resource remain extremely popular. Now the social network Zuckerberg has 800 million users, and their number continues to grow. So a slight decline in the popularity of Facebook among online video fans means nothing. It’s too early to talk about the “beginning of the end” of the most popular social network in the world.
