Exaggerating exercise: Facebook said a few weeks ago that a metric for average user time on videos was artificially inflated as it only counted videos viewed for over three seconds.

Facebook has made a significant strides into video, which has attracted significant advertising interest and has benefited from the shift in advertising spending towards the internet and other mobile platforms.
