Answers
Answer:
7. Streaming services are all the rage, bringing entertainment to millions of viewers when and where they want it, any time, day or night. On-demand access to television, movies, and miniseries provides viewers with a sense of control, escape, relaxation, and relief from boredom. But there appears to be a line that, when crossed, can turn the concept of "just one more episode" into something detrimental to overall health and well-being.
Explanation:
8. Limelight’s State of Online Video 2019 research suggests that the United States is the world’s leader in binge entertainment consumption (defined as watching more than three shows or episodes in a row) with almost one-third of adults between the ages of 18 and 35 spending as long as three hours in a single sitting. Netflix, one of the world’s top binge-watching platforms, found that users on average finish an entire season of a TV series in one week.
Although researchers are still tackling this growing global phenomenon and its ramifications, binge-watching is not a one-size-fits-all behavior, according to a study of over 4,000 TV viewers published September 2019 in The Journal of Behavior Addictions. The study’s findings showed that bingers fall along a continuum ranging from occasional binge-viewing for entertainment purposes on one end, to unregulated binge-watching on the other. Unregulated binge-watchers gravitate toward habitual, frequent, and longer back-to-back sessions.
