TV is a totally passive medium. The interwebs is the polar opposite. So, it’s no surprise to learn that Internet video watchers are 47 percent more engaged by the advertising they encounter than traditional TV viewers.
The same study found that viewers were 25 percent more engaged in the content on the shows, as well.
