Cord-Cutting + Pandemic = Binge Watching
Having cut-the-cord late last year and switched to YouTube TV along with a handful of other streaming services, it’s no surprise that some binge-watching would result. Throw in a pandemic and 6 months of “lock down”, however, like most folks, the TV-time has bumped up significantly. I won’t say I’ve been completely glued to the TV but I certainly have run through a few shows that I probably would never have bothered with.
