The Shocking Reason You’re Wasting 11 Days a Year!

Published Mar 28, 2025, 6:24 AM

We knew the struggle was real, but 11 days a year just scrolling for something to watch?! HBO Max has crunched the numbers, and Aussies are spending 42 minutes a day in a streaming spiral—37 minutes on weekdays, a whopping 56 minutes on weekends!

And it’s not just us—9 in 10 people reckon they get full-blown decision paralysis when picking a show. Maybe we need a national Movie Club to sort this out… or at least a ‘no scrolling’ timer!

Pretty Lateinger, we want to do a really quick movie club. You had a great start for us job. This is pretty crazy.

This is crazy, so HBO Max have collected a whole bunch of Ossie data. Australians. This is terrible. Really, Australians spend an average of forty two minutes each day searching for something to watch. That's too long, I reckon I'm adding to that number though, Well, can you not never decide what you want to watch? If we're not in the middle of a series, then yeah, we spend hours scrolling sometimes that'll be the feature film.

I never do that.

I only go on a streaming app if I know what I'm watching. Yeah, okay, And the only time we didn't do this right was Friday Night movie with the kids. And I'll tell you this really quick. We're not that on the head and we have to choose Friday Night movie by Wednesday now because it takes.

The time of actually watching of the movie and everyone fights by fighting.

Yeah, well, fair enough. Let me break it down for you. Break it down. Ozzie spends third thirty seven minutes. I'm so cool. What do you spend thirty yo?

What up?

Ricky? Hey, what's going on to thirty seven minutes through the week, plus an additional fifty six minutes of scrolling on the weekends. This means the average Australian spends eleven days a year just searching what to watch. Apparently we have something. Nine to ten people face any thing called decision paralysis when choosing something to stream.

Can I tell you something to watch? I've started it.

I can News Adolescence, The Studio.

The Studio, I hear I'm hearing good.

About so good seth Rogen, Brian Cranston and Charlie Stern's in the first episode of mart like the cameos are out of this world and the girl the lady that you like from Shit's Craig the Mother, Oh my god, Catherine O'Hara, she it's just watched the Studio.

Just watch another one I will recommend. Obviously we've spoken about adolescence. The whole world is talking about adolescents. But I'm watching the new Shonda Rhymes one on Netflix about the murder in the White House. Carlie Minogue's in it.

Yeah, I did see that on on Instagram.

The Residents, The Residents.
