Yes, many studies and surveys have suggested that people often spend a significant amount of time searching for films and shows on Netflix compared to the actual time spent watching them. A common finding is that viewers can spend anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes browsing for something to watch, while the average viewing time for a single episode or movie is typically much shorter.

This phenomenon can be attributed to several factors:

  1. Content Overload: Netflix offers a vast library of content, which can be overwhelming and lead to decision fatigue.
  2. Browsing Experience: The interface encourages exploration, with numerous categories and recommendations that can distract users from making a quick decision.
  3. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): Viewers may spend time looking for the "perfect" film or show, fearing they might miss out on something better.
  4. Social Influence: Recommendations from friends or trending shows can lead to extended browsing sessions.
