Binge Nation: Average American Streams 8 Hours Of Content Per Day During Coronavirus Outbreak!

• https://www.studyfinds.org by John Anderer

A new survey of 2,000 U.S. residents finds the average American is currently streaming eight hours of content per day and finishing three TV series per week. We all have some extra free time on our hands right now, but at this rate many people may exhaust the entire Netflix library by summer.

Moreover, many parents have started to fall back on streaming services to get a break from their kids. In all, 65% of surveyed parents said they're allowing their children to watch more TV and movies during this pandemic.

The research, commissioned by Tubi, also noted that the average American enjoys access to four streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime). Another 38% are usually logged into five or more at any given time. Of course, many households find themselves operating on a leaner budget, so it makes sense that 47% are also taking advantage of free streaming services.

All in all, 75% of respondents are using streaming services more in general since COVID-19 interrupted all of our lives.

We all have our favorite shows, from Breaking Bad to The Sopranos, that we just can't help but go back to and re-watch. As such, 56% said they are watching shows they've already seen before more often than starting something new.
