Interesting idea and I’ve thought about some of these before.

Not sure a cruise is applicable since you’re also getting drinks and transportation. How much would it cost to watch Netflix while sippping whiskey and Ubering to Mexico?

But many of these are pretty comparable.

Is the average monthly usage of Netflix 43h/month? That's 1.1 hours per day! Where does this data come from? Is it global or specific to a country? It seems like quite a lot.

Can't believe Spotify, which I assume people listen to during work or commute so would potentially be higher, has only 5 hours/month compared to 43h/month from Netflix. That's why I'm curious to know the source of the data.

In any case, plugging in your own numbers would likely give you more interesting results.

Pretty inaccurate.

"In 2020, each Netflix subscriber in the U.S. was watching an average of 3.2 hours of Netflix content per day." -- https://www.zippia.com/answers/how-many-hours-of-netflix-are...

Let's say there's 4 weeks to a month - that's 12.8 hours a month. So using $23/m is going to be 1.8/h -- I'd be curious to see the median hours per month per user -- I am willing to bet the average is skewed by the top 20% of viewers.

A short game is still likely to be $60 - it is more dependent on the publisher setting price.

According to your source of 3.2h a day it would be closer to 90h a month (28 days * 3.2h) for the shortest month we have.

There's 7 days in a week.
