Seven in ten adult internet users (69%) have used the internet to watch or download video. That represents 52% of all adults in the United States.
Driven by the popularity of online video among 18-29 year-olds, there have been dramatic increases since 2007 in the number of American adults watching:
* Comedy or humorous videos, rising in viewership from 31% of adult internet users in 2007 to 50% of adult internet users in the current survey
* Educational videos, rising in viewership from 22% to 38% of adult internet users
* Movies or TV show videos, rising in viewership from 16% to 32% of adult internet users
* Political videos, rising in viewership from 15% to 30% of adult internet users
On the other side of the camera, video creation has now become a notable feature of online life. One in seven adult internet users (14%) have uploaded a video to the internet, almost double the 8% who were uploading video in 2007. Home video is far and away the most popular content posted online, shared by 62% of video uploaders. And uploaders are just as likely to share video on social networking sites like Facebook (52% do this) as they are on more specialized video-sharing sites like YouTube (49% do this).
