My numbers are going to be pretty bad, but when I'm doing work I usually throw a video on (like a Lofi live station or a dj live set) and leave it playing.
-
@JoshBent well that's not so bad I've seen some over 60 hours a week, do you listen to music?
-
@JKyll I'll slap a YouTube video on my TV (if there aren't any live sports I'm interested in on) when I'm eating, but I also usually play YouTube videos to provide noise for me to fall asleep (TV set up with a timer).
-
@Stuxnet nice, I don't have Chromecast so I always put it on my laptop or phone. TV shows have become so shitty I prefer watching videos on my phone than turning on the TV.
-
@HoloDreamer doubt that's it, because it clearly says "Time watched" not "Time spent"
-
@JKyll yeah I didn't bother getting cable.
I've got Hulu and Prime. If I want to watch anything else, I'll plug my laptop into my TV. -
@JoshBent sometimes, i skip ahead to the end of very long videos before closing and i see watch history bar records it as I watched till the point I skipped to. Maybe that's why.
-
@HoloDreamer it only records what point you left off, it doesn't count the entire video as watched, that would be horrible for their business, since they also do CPM based on viewtimes I think.
-
Mine are zero.. :/
For work I'm logged in with diff account (which is not on my phone) & can't find this in the web version..
I do use always when @ work & sometimes I forget over night, so the numbers would be wild.. ππππ -
@ceee I've seen a lot worse, during summer time when the work load is low my watch time triples
-
ceee77796y@JKyll this is actually due to the video lectures,got exams this week. Normally its not this bad. Or maybe it is π
