Video content also demands more attention from viewers, with 55% of people paying closer attention to video than any other type of content, according to HubSpot. The majority of video plays, about 51%, occur on mobile devices, based on Adelie Studios' findings. Furthermore, 78% of people watch online videos weekly, and 55% watch online videos every day, according to HubSpot.
