Let's back up for a second...
This article only refers to usage as 'visit(ing)' the sites, but nothing about interaction. Are we to assume that teens are actively consuming and producing content on YouTube?
There's a huge difference here. When I still had Facebook I would have never said I spent most of my time there. It's very easy to say YouTube consumes more of your time considering how easy it is to go down the rabbit-hole of related videos, how-tos, etc.
Even my dad always tells me to 'get on the YouTube' to look up videos on how to do things when he isn't here to show me because it has videos 'on everything'.
What I'm really getting at is there are completely different uses for each site. For advertisers it's important to know where the majority of time is spent but I don't think that means Facebook is becoming irrelevant.
- gunnyguy121 8y agoI see Facebook and YouTube as completely different and I think a lot of people would agree. For most people YouTube is all about consuming. Sure some people make videos, but most go nowhere. Most people are just using it to fill their day, or for background noise while they do other stuff, just like people have been doing with TV for years.(why do you think YouTube made autoplay a thing). Facebook is more about connecting with people and expressing yourself than it is about consuming things.
