10 Incredible Facts You Didn't Know About Netflix
7. The Number Of Hours Netflix Is Watched Per Month
In 2017, Netflix was watched an average of 140 MILLION hours every single day. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY MILLION! That works out at 4.2 BILLION per month. That's a lot of Drag Race.
Our brains are not evolved to conceive of numbers that large. We only need to visualise three or four things at most, so the absurdity of that figure is basically incomprehensible to us. Four billion might as well be a googly, boogly, squintrillion, gazillion Nathan Fillion for all it matters to us peons.
But just to help try and give some sort of scope to how insane those numbers are, here is a video that tries to explain what a billion dollars would look like.
Now let's multiply those numbers in the video by four. And if you can, try and visualise each of those little 100,000s in the Notepad document he is using, as sixty minutes of time (or 3600 seconds if youre particularly nuts). Then you'll start to get a visual picture of just how much time is dedicated to Netflix streaming. EVERY. SINGLE. MONTH.
