Since the majority of us have been streaming a ton of content, this makes sense. I appreciate catching up on shows and finding new ones, but I am over the quarantine life. I want to get back to going out to eat, have a beer, and watch live sports. It doesn’t surprise me that not everyone feels the same way and that is cool.
There’s a new survey out on the use of streaming services during the pandemic. (Which makes sense, because WHAT ELSE are you going to be asking people about right now?)
A lot of people are restless and have cabin fever, but some people are apparently FINE with their new life of sitting at home all day and watching Netflix.
Only 84% of those surveyed want a “return to normalcy” after experiencing life during the pandemic. Which insinuates that 16% . . . or roughly one-in-six . . . are cool with forced social distancing. (???)
Here are a few other stats:
60% are consuming more entertainment now that they’re working from home.
24% have added at least one new streaming service in the last few weeks . . . 81% added a video-based one like Netflix, 38% added music like Spotify, and 14% added a gaming one, like Apple Arcade or Google Stadia.
And about a quarter of the respondents believe they could use one more service.
