PRACTICAL ALTERNATIVES TO WATCHING NETFLIX

According to statistics compiled by TechJury in 2019, approximately 8.4 million people prefer watching an entire Netflix series within the first 24 hours, and on average, they normally take five days to complete. So, in a bid to have some fun with these facts, OnBuy, the all-in-one online marketplace, conducted a small study to suggest some possible alternatives.





You see, not so long ago, they managed to obtain a list of popular TV shows broadcast by Netflix in order to calculate how long each one takes to watch in their entirety. Then after they did that, they carefully matched them up with another activity people can accomplish within the same amount of time. An activity, I hasten to add, that’s somehow connected to the show in question. Want to know more? Then please have a look at this…
