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.

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

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
