Every facility and luxury comes with a negative aspect and we have to admit that. The change the OTTS has brought is not small. Watching TV for long hours and binge-watching web series became the new normal for many. Earlier people used to watch one film a week or two weeks. But this had changed now and people are completing one or two web series in a day. Experts say that this is an addiction. What happens when a habit becomes an addiction and what happens next is called 'Binge Watching Addiction'.
OTTs brought entertainment to our doorstep and we can watch films and web series with just a click. People's weekend schedules had changed. They prefer watching web series overnight on weekends. Few OTT watchers also prefer watching another web series after waking up late. The interaction between family members has reduced and work is not happening in the house. They are going through issues like not having an interest in anything.
Medical experts are saying that new mental issues are faced by OTT consumers as they are watching content day and night. One of the leading OTT platforms Amazon Prime said that on average Indians are spending more than four hours on Binge watching. Netflix said that around 61 percent of its consumers are watching six episodes in a show or web series in a single setting.
Experts say that the habit of watching series one after the other in OTTs is addictive behavior. Usually, people show interest in eating something while watching.
This is the reason why people prefer eating popcorn and other items in theatres. Doctors say that people are gaining weight with binge eating and they are also facing gastric problems.
The Binge-Watching problem is relevant in people across age groups. Experts are warning that people should change their habits or else it would be an issue. Giving suggestions on how to overcome this, experts say that focusing on other things would be a good alternative. They say that not talking with others and not having interest are some of the symptoms of this addiction. Let us be careful with this.
