according to Advertisers were duped into focusing on the social network under the belief that people were spending more time watching on Facebook than through other video platforms. The inflated data also led many media organizations to put an emphasis on Facebook video and chase views to the detriment of other editorial efforts.

"The metric should have reflected the total time spent watching a video divided by the total number of people who played the video. It's easy to see how advertisers would be encouraged by such inflated data and choose to dump more money into Facebook video ads versus those on YouTube and other platforms.
