Netflix Saves Kids from Up to 400 Hours of Commercials a Year

We calculated a series of numbers related to standard television homes, compared them to Netflix-only homes and found an interesting trend with regard to how many commercials a streaming-only household can save their children from having to watch:

A study conducted by the University of Michigan found that kids 2-5 spend an average of 32 hours per week in front of a television set. Children 6-11 spend 28 hours in front of a television set (there are some who believe the decrease between brackets is likely due to the slightly older kids now transitioning to phone time). While we couldn’t find any specific data on whether or not a child in a home with standard television versus Netflix-only options watches more YouTube, we’re willing to bet the numbers are probably fairly equal.
