Download Netflix app on pretty much any device, subscription is affordable, scroll and click to play. New content gets added each week or whatever which is more than one can consume.
it's a bit like cooking vs going to a restaurant. how can someone with a sense of real taste and care for health/nutrition understand the millions of people who regularly hit fast food chains. Convenience.
It simply has to be 1/ affordable 2/ saving time, and bingo.
of course learning how to cook, going shoping to 7 different local suppliers, having a large range of stocked spices and other condiments, spend 1h and half putting things together and appreciate a great healthy meal is a better approach to eating, but not everyone accept the burden, some don't even understand the actual pro/cons of each option.
- wbsss4412 5y agoI like this metaphor, but it breaks down in one aspect: the notion that it’s akin to eating junk vs healthy. At the end of the day I can hunt around and curate the perfect library of movies and shows, but I can also find plenty of good content on streaming platforms. It’s not like I’m eating empty calories at the end of the day.
- dylan604 5y agoI'd go out on a limb and say if you're watching reality TV shows like Housewives, Kardashians, Bachelor/ette, etc, then you are very much eating empty calories. But it's your body, and you can do with it whatever you like. Just be honest about what you are consuming.
- wbsss4412 5y agoHuh? How was that the implication? Netflix has reality tv, but that doesn’t mean you’re watching reality tv on Netflix by default.
