YouTube Viewing Not So High?

I saw this article recently, which claims that folks may overstate their time on YouTube:

"The project, which cost $3.5 million to field, directly observed how people spent their day using media, found that while growing rapidly, online video and mobile video still account for a small fraction of the amount of time Americans spend watching all forms of video content, including live TV programming, time-shifted television, DVDs, video games, etc."

I don't think this would change the trend towards spending on online marketing, though. I wonder, sometimes, if marketers' move toward online spending is as much because of the data available in that form as the actual impact it has.
