That list is very fire because it clearly shows how videos eat up our bandwidth without mercy. YouTube leading by using 193 MB in just five minutes is very dangerous for the wallet of the average person.

A lot of data is required for watching videos, so many apps/ websites are paying some money just for viewing videos since data is expensive in many countries.

There is no way that I am shocked that YouTube is leading the pack. I always zero my mind about my data subscription when I open YouTube. It's a choice though.
