“I’ve heard from showrunners who are given notes from the streamers that 'This isn’t second screen enough,’” Justine Bateman told the Hollywood Reporter last year during the strikes. “Meaning, the viewer’s primary screen is their phone and the laptop and they don’t want anything on your show to distract them from their primary screen because if they get distracted, they might look up, be confused, and go turn it off.”

It's things like *THIS* that frosts my weinie, Sonny. This is Exhibit A for why a lot of people are too stupid to focus. If you are answering emails. then why the hell do you need the television on across the room? You should be focused on your task. The same applies to fiddling with your phone. If you are fiddling with the phone, then why do you need "background noise" that you aren't actually hearing? This is just average couch potatoes wasting their money by wasting electricity. When you fry out your ability to focus, what good are you, really?
