Gen Z admits to binge-watching shows and movies at work

Zoom in: The Tubi survey, which polled 2,502 U.S. adults that stream for at least one hour a week, also found that 53% of Gen Zers say they have put off working because they had to finish a show they were binge-watching.

• 52% say they don't want to return to the office because they'll miss streaming during the workday.
• 54% use streaming as background noise for other daily tasks, including work (but they'll deny it if their boss asks).

More Gen Z findings: 44% admitted using the streaming login of a former romantic partner even after they broke up.

• 73% say they prefer to watch original content over franchises/remakes.

More streaming behaviors: Viewers are spending more on streaming and paid TV subscriptions combined in a month ($129) than they are on clothes ($109).

• When people need a mental break, they are most likely to reach for streaming (59%), followed by listening to music (50%) and scrolling social media (38%).
