Books, comics, sports, knitting, gardening, woodworking, video games, shitposting on Lemmy...

There are so many other things one can do besides watch Netflix.

I am sure those are nice hobbies but… they‘re different hobbies. Very hard to compare, really. But maybe your point was that there are no alternatives.

[–] TheAgeOfSuperboredom@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago

That was indeed my point. 😀

I really hate the whole "nobody is forcing you" argument, since it's often used against people who's agency is severely limited, but in this case I think it applies since Netflix is really easy to drop in favour of literally anything else.

Do you like watching TV at all? There is a lot of stuff on Netflix.

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, of all the streaming services, I find Netflix to have the most dull catalog.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 5 points 3 days ago

This would depend on your level of interest for internationally acquired titles, in my honest opinion. Netflix has the largest field here.

[–] figjam@midwest.social 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There is also a lot of stuff not on Netflix. You arent required to consume what they hype.

Yeah, I know. I was just trying to determine if the poster above was anti-Netflix specifically or anti watching-TV.
