I'm pretty new to Netflix. I am usually one of the last
people to dip my toe into any new technology.
I had been under the impression that I had been thoroughly
enjoying my time using it. However I have come to the realization that for the
most part I have been tricking myself into enjoying it.
Here is what happened when I went on Netflix yesterday.
A WHOLE HOUR! The amount of TV I managed to watch was
exactly zero minutes.
Strangely though I walked away from experience thinking that
I had enjoyed myself. Which means for a whole hour my brain had been getting a
kick out of simply viewing how many awesome shows there were and imagining how
satisfying it would be to watch them.
I think I have pinned down the problem with Netflix and have
summed it up in this super professional graph.
I don't think I operate well with choices. My brain seems to
be broken in such a way that it enjoys the idea of making a choice as much as
it enjoys the thing that would be chosen.
Luckily my free trial will expire soon and I may once again
be able to do something during my day. Maybe one day even contribute to
society.
