(based on a study by Visible Measures, which tracks video views across sites such as YouTube, Metacafe, DailyMotion, Veoh, Yahoo, Hulu, and the sites specific to certain videos).

The conclusion of the study was that music videos, video trailers and TV shows still top video views across various video platforms, with only Jeff Dunham’s Achmed making it to the top 10 as the only user generated content type of video. However, there is still place for true user generated content to be successful on video platforms, as long as it can pack in the right ingredients.
