According to comScore, Internet users are spending a lot of time watching online videos, with 161 million users tuning in online during the month of August, which ranks as the largest audience ever recorded. And with 25 billion videos viewed, August also recorded its busiest month ever.
Google Sites continues to lead the charge, again taking the top spot, this time recording over 10 million videos viewed and claiming just shy of 40 percent market share. Not surprisingly, YouTube accounted for all but 1 percent of Google Sites' video views.
Microsoft came in second and claims 2.2 percent of the online video market, enough to edge out Viacom Digital at 2.1 percent and Hulu at 1.9 percent.

And that will decrease in the future. Google is ruining youtube. Microsoft should have bought it... They would have done a much better job maintaining it. Screw google ads in the middle of my anime show! [madface]

Come on, those ads are what make the service free for the end users. The server space and bandwidth costs to run youtube are really really high. For google to even come out even there needs to be a few ads for revenue. Google has become very wealthy because of if this idea. They appeal to the end users because they give out a great product and its free. If you watched your anime on TV you would get ads also and guess what, there would be more and they would last longer. IMO Microsoft would have messed everything up. First they would have ditched flash player and went to their silverlight player. Microsoft would make the site all cluttered and full of junk which would make the site lag and cause video streaming to suck.
People that complain about ads in free services on the internet need to shut the hell up. Its all give me give me give me, it for free and then complain about it.

And when they are not complaining they are pirating off torrents.
