Netflix Subscribers Watch More Netflix Than They Hang Out with their Friends

Date:

People who watch Netflix watch TV more than they hang out with their friends.

Netflix is changing not only the way people watch TV but, also what people do. According to a report, 70% of US consumers now “binge-watch” TV. In fact, according to Cordcutting.com, Netflix subscribers spend about 1 2/3 hours per day watching Netflix.

Streaming data site CordCutting.com came up with a nifty way to estimate it. In January, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings announced that Netflix subscribers were streaming 125 million hours per day. Later that month, Netflix passed the 75 million subscriber mark. If we assume that the amount streamed per subscriber hasn’t changed much since then, Netflix subscribers stream about 1 ⅔ hours of Netflix per day.

Let’s put that into a little perspective.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics tracks how Americans spend their time, and it turns out we spend 38 minutes a day “socializing and communicating,” basically hanging with our friends; 17 minutes participating in sports, exercise, and recreation; and 19 minutes reading.

That’s more time than the average human spends socializing with friends, going outside, and reading. In addition, Netflix subscribers watch Netflix 100 minutes a day, more than all three of those activities combined.

Who needs friends when you have Orange is the New Black?
