Social media users consume over 150 hours of ‘oddly satisfying’ videos a year — and admit to a revolting habit

Nearly two-thirds of people admit to watching “oddly satisfying” social media videos, spending atotal of 156 hours consuming that content per year, according to new research.

The survey of 2,000 Americans found that those who love oddly satisfying videos (59%) spend almost half an hour per day consuming this content, adding up to just over three hours per week — or 156 hours annually.

Pimple popping videos ranked as the most sought-after content in this genre, followed closely by pressure/power washing and object crushing.

But the appeal may come down to something deeper than entertainment: adults want relief.
