Assuming x264 encoded 4k data @ 173.47MiB/minute (size of this 1 minute file: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvEVNBZjcn4)

And assuming that the only thing that internet is used for is netflix then that's roughly then you're looking at 5780 minutes of video. (or, 50 movies, or 125~ episodes of your favourite netflix-length tv show)

I'm not sure if that's a lot or not, I suspect it's not, but I'm a heavy netflix user so I might be a shitty reference.

Nonetheless, those are the numbers.

By some back of the napkin math, that's at least 30% of an entire months worth of free time for someone employed full time.

To me, that seems pretty darned reasonable considering we're talking about 4k.

with the addition of family members, that isn't a lot.
