made the mistake of getting Netflix again and realized how easy it is for a show to suck away a day.

i wonder if the way streaming is set up/has evolved to be just as bad for attention as social apps.

I get physically sick from binge-watching like from drinking or overeating 

The same goes for being too online

Our brains/bodies don’t exist for binge-anything, and the current state of media in general and especially our newly acquired media habits aren’t healthy at all

Not to mention that streaming took away the social aspect / 3rd cultural space away from us (as in waiting for a new episode and speculating about it) 

However, I find the classic Netflix streaming model amazing for the old shows and the cozy corner feeling that they give - as in anything you weren’t able to watch easily growing up

Normie homie. Works in entertainment.

I think we’re at least moving to some hybrid model

Even Netlix started dropping its shows in blocks

absolutely agree with you. unfortunately I'm not sure if we can ever really go back
