Well, my intial thought, instead, was "apples and oranges."

There's a big difference between watching short, funny clips, or short how-to 
clips, or any of the huge variety available on YouTube, as compared to scripted 
drama and sports. True that you don't need to watch on a schedule, but then 
again, who does that anymore? For any TV except maybe news? I don't think 
that's the main difference here.

Might as well compare TV prime time shows consumed vs singles on the radio or 
on Internet radio channels. It's just a different beast altogether.
