A minute is a small time. Small enough that it can be comprised fully of mistaken video starts.
Given that the videos auto-play, I wouldn't be surprised if a significant portion of the count was from videos autoplaying as people scrolled theough.
- ben_w 8y agoDisagree. Five seconds is in that category, one minute is in the “ha ha my cat fell off my bed isn’t that cute” category.
- eigenvector 8y agoThe 1 minute can just be 5 seconds 12 times, which is pretty easy to accomplish with autoplay while scrolling Facebook while never deliberately watching anything.
- kazinator 8y agoVegging in front a TV for two hours can be accomplished without deliberately watching anything. It's a captive pair of eyes that can be subliminally programmed, even if no deliberately watching.
- eigenvector 8y agoBut even if you passively watch TV while doing something else - like cooking for instance - you at least show the intent to do that. Your TV doesn't turn itself off and play in the background even if you actively don't want it like web auto-play videos attached to unrelated content (your social feed) do.
