> There’s something incredibly important about not having the option and just going with the flow, which I think a lot of people won’t admit they like but actually do.

Personally, I hate it. I can easily get glued to it and watch any random junk. And because it keeps going ad infinitum, I lost track of time and kept wasting my time, even if I was angry at how bad the program was.

With the internet, I always have to make a choice regarding what to watch next, and for every thing I pick the runtime is clearly visible. It helps me make conscious choices and figure out when to stop.

That feels like a stretch. TV still exists. And it’s mostly garbage.
