I didn't really agree with the author's points but it did get me thinking about my own video consumption habits and I realized that this year I have only watched two movies in full. I've watched a lot of shows, but movies - no. As for why that is, my current theory is that streaming at home has largely eviscerated my ability to sit down and dedicate a block of time to watching one thing. There is a strange form of FOMO that I get when I sit down and scroll through netflix. I get stuck in the browsing mode and can't ever make a decision because of too many options. I find the entire streaming experience pushes me towards finding good series just to avoid having to make a decision. Finding a good film will alleviate me of the cognitive load of choosing for one night but finding a good series I'll be off the hook for months.
