Every minute, 72 hours of new video content is loaded to YouTube.  The sheer volume of video on the web is mind boggling.  However, it’s estimated that four out of five online viewers will click away if a video stops playing – that’s a big opportunity lost.  Translation: there’s too much competition for people to patiently wait through content that doesn’t engage them or play properly.
