Curious as to why that would be the case. Unless people are starting videos, letting them buffer, then reloading and doing it again.

It should be the same amount of bandwidth, otherwise, right?

It's just people not finishing videos. Buffered but never played. In aggregate it adds up to a lot.

Yeah i dont use youtube like that either but lots of people open videos and close them without finishing them because loss of interest or attention or whatever.

People opening 8 hour long music videos, then pausing them after half an hour and just keeping it open while they do something else.

Then they come back after multiple hours and just close the browser.
