10 Things We All Do On Netflix
Dear Netflix, you don't have to be so passive aggressive.
Oh Netflix. Wherever would we be without you? In line at Blockbuster probably.
To my fellow Netflix nuts, I'm about to hit you with some facts and stats about our favourite red and black themed streaming service:
1) Netflix consumes 15% of the world's internet bandwidth.
2) 26% of global streaming traffic belong to Netflix.
3) In 2017 somebody watched Madagascar 3 352 times! I did the math that's 44,440 minutes or 557 hours or, if the person was watching the film back to back, it's 23 days of non stop Madagascar 3.
So just remember if you think you're binging too much you see that shameful and annoying "Are you still watching?" message pop up (more on this later), just know there are people out there with a way bigger problem than you.
Whether it's suffering the annoyance of the other viewers on your profile or spending countless hours finding something good to watch that your dinner gets cold, this list will shine a light on the things we all get up to when we click on that infamous red "N".
So if you want to find out what bizarre and downright odd things are hidden in the dark caverns of Netflix or tips and tricks on how to troll other users' profiles then read on to see if you too can resonate with the things that we all do whilst watching Netflix.
10. Tell The Younger Generation Of Darker Times
Nothing will make you feel older than trying to explain to youths what on-demand TV was like before Netflix (well that and referring to young people as "youths").
Although we all have fond memories of going to Blockbuster on a Friday night, picking out some films to watch over the weekend and watching them whilst mum and dad fought about how often the postman comes over whilst dad's at work, there is no denying that it was far from convenient.
Years later, everyone's nips were blown off by the prospect of ordering a movie online and the postman being able to deliver it through your letterbox (my mother was especially excited by that, in fact, she loved it so much we would order 5 or six every week!).
As great as it is to reminisce with the younger generations about it, they're normally far from interested and instead will hit you with an "OK Boomer" do a dance from Fortnite and skate off on their Heelys whilst flawlessly rapping the opening verse to Cardi B's WAP.
The youths of today may not care but, as my step Dad says: "Much like us postmen, Netflix always delivers."
