Have you spent more hours in front of the TV this month than you've spent sleeping?  Apparently a full third of our life is dedicated to streaming right now.

 

 

The average American has watched eight hours of content a day during lockdown, according to a new poll OnePoll for Tubi.  Here are six more stats on our current streaming habits:

 

 

1.  3 in 4 people admit they're streaming more content than normal right now.

 

 

2.  65% of parents are letting their kids watch more movies and TV shows than usual.  (Shout-out to the 35% who aren't using it as a crutch.)

 

 

3.  We're not always searching for fresh content.  56% of people said they frequently re-watch a show instead of starting something new.

 

 

4.  The average streamer has access to four different streaming services like Hulu and Netflix.  And 38% of us use more than five.

 

 

5.  Since the outbreak began, 42% of us have shared a password or used someone else's login info to stream.  The top people we share with are our significant other, a friend, a sibling, and our parents.

 

 

6.  We go through an average of three full shows a week.  And half of us have binge-watched an entire TV series in less than 48 hours.
