Thankfully, Netflix has eliminated all of those needless breaks and distractions. A recent article by Cord Cutting has revealed the amount of time that Netflix saves you from having to watch commercials and it's quite interesting. It states:
"From Nielsen, we know that a typical hour of cable television includes 15 minutes, 38 seconds – or 938 seconds – of commercials. Multiply that figure by 1.67 repeating and you get 1,563.3 (also repeating) seconds of commercials per day. That’s 570,616.7 seconds per year, which works out to 158.5 hours. So each subscriber saves him or herself about 160 hours of commercials per year by streaming their content through Netflix."To put this figure into context, that's more than six days a year. Now that you know this information, what are you going to do with the extra time? Go travelling, spend more time with friends, or, most likely, plank yourself down on the couch and watch more Netflix. It's the best option.
