Is streaming TV shows and movies getting in the way of Gen Z’s jobs? New research by Tubi in collaboration with The Harris Poll suggests it might be.

The survey, which was conducted between Oct. 21 and Nov. 1, 2024 among more than 2,500 adults aged 18 and older that stream video at least one hour per week, found that 84% of employed Gen Z viewers said they watch TV or movies while working and 48% said they have lied to coworkers or bosses about it.

About 53% of respondents said they put off work to finish a show they were binge-watching and 52% said they do not want to return to the office because they will miss streaming during the work day. Meanwhile, 38% of viewers said they stream their favorite TV shows or movies while at their job site
