How many hours in 4.5 years does an average Netflix users spend? Seems absurd to spend that time consuming than creating your own content.

it's much easier to consume content, and it produces endorphines just the same.

Creating content (or any creative endeavour) is hard, and most people don't like hard work.

I don't watch TV (or more correctly I very rarely watch TV).

The amount of time that free's up for activities is insane, I go to Chess twice a week, cycle, spend time keeping up to date on programming stuff and still have time to read.

3hrs a day over a year is the same as 6mths of working a 40hr week.
