    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.

        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.

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

        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.
