I almost always watch YouTube videos without sound. For me putting the headphones on and fully concentrating on the sound and image of a video is too big of a "commitment" when I don't even know what the video is about. It's simply more comfortable and effortless to skim through it without sound unless I really know I want to hear what's going on. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people did this, specially at work. Heck, I would even speculate that it's probably fueled the rise of macro memes and animated gifs.
