People watch less TV because of online video

What, the good old traditional tube is slowly dying because of Youtube and similar services? Don't worry, TV execs, I'm sure the dinosaurs also gave a good fight before they became extinct

It really doesn't come as a suprise that a Great Britain study shows that 20% of users watch a lot less traditional TV because they spend their time watching mobile and online video, and additional 23% say that they watch a bit less normal TV for the same reason.

This is because old-fashioned TV is boring, folks. And it keeps hammering commercials in your brain at least 10% of the time. On YouTube and similar services, I can watch what I want, when I want it. God help the traditional TV and media houses when online video quality improves.

Full results of the study here.
