Younger, richer males watch more online videos in U.S.

Those watching the most online videos in the United States tend to be younger males, who are also above the average income level, a recent study conducted by the Online Publishers Association found.

The study profiles an average U.S. online video viewer as 39 years-old with an annual income of $59,000, and has equal opportunities for both genders.

Moreover, an average heavy viewer is two years younger, with an average annual income of $61,000, and has a 64 percent possibility of being a man, while a light user is more likely to be a female aged 43, who earns $58,000 per year.

The study also maps out online video categories in terms of frequency and reach. News/current events, and jokes/funny clips are the top two online video categories with highest reach and frequency – both reaching over 80 percent of people and are being viewed more than seven times per month. Travel and full-length movies, however, are the ones with lowest reach and viewed least frequently, with less than 50 percent reach and viewed less than three times.
