>That seems... REALLY high; nobody I know has that kind of time

Netflix drops a series of something and you have millions binging it all in a sitting the first few days. Take Stranger Things, Netflix revealed that 40.7 million accounts watched at least part of the series in the first 4 days.

It's not uncommon for me to see in my Facebook feed, almost daily, people saying "I completed SERIES what do I watch next?".

The number doesn't surprise me at all, especially given there are people that are streaming stuff like Netflix most/all day at work on their phones with them propped up, then going home to watch something with their partner or binging an entire season on a Saturday.

Totally believe the numbers (30 hours a week) quoted in parent posts. The CEO of Netflix said something to the effect of "our biggest competition is sleep -- and we're winning."
