My uncle offered this comparison, which I dimly remember: “All the streaming services are just like when I went into Blockbuster Video too late on a Saturday. Nothing but oddball B-List movies and a tiny handful of A-List titles that I’d very likely seen already.”
I used to have “media fugues”. If I was down I’d read all the books in my personal library, which took a week or so. Later I would watch all my DVDs which would take two weeks. Then, came TV on Demand; it took a month to go through all the movies available. Now, with the Internet, it’s too easy to spend the rest of your life in a fugue. I went back to re-reading all the books in my personal library.

Some of those streaming services don’t have enough content to even bother.

Do you want to start with the pimple Dr or the women who scream at each other the whole time so the TV just BEEPS, BEEPS the whole show?

I reached the last page of the internet yesterday. I had to go outside for a cigarette, despite the fact that I don’t smoke.
