Your numbers are off. Netflix has more than 36.000 hours of content.
- sandebert 5y agoCare to cite a source?
- henvic 5y agoBack-of-the-envelope calculation: a slacker suffering from insomnia watching 5 streams of Netflix at once × 20 hours/day × 365 days non-stop would otherwise watch the whole catalog in less than a year. Convinced?
- sandebert 5y agoNot really. If we unpack your calculation to slightly more typical human behaviour: Watching 1 stream × 10 hours/day × 365 days non-stop, one person would need 10 years to watch the whole catalog. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
- henvic 5y agoYou didn't get the core idea of my calculation: to show that Netflix has times of magnitude more than just 36k hours of content.
- viciousvoxel 5y agoI don't know the reliability of these sources, but according to one article[1], as of 1 year ago, US Netflix had ~5.8K titles, totaling 36K hours of content. Another more recent source[2] claims that worldwide, Netflix has ~15K titles, so assuming the same distribution of runtimes, it would be closer to 93K hours of content. So, while you're correct, it's still the same order of magnitude. sources: [1] https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/how-long-would-it-take-to-watch-all-of-netflix/ https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/how-long-would-it-take...
