Streaming Has Reached Its Sad, Predictable Fate | What should I watch? is now a much easier question than How do I watch it?::<em>What should I watch? </em>is now a much easier question than <em>How do I watch it?</em>
The amount of media we have instant access to has reached a level that I find intimidating rather than inviting. Consuming media is becoming more of a chore than a pleasure. Dividing the available media into more services is a plus for me, if I am honest.
I have access to a streaming service, and if they don’t have anything I’m interested in, I just walk away and read a book, play a game, put on some music, go outside, or do my chores.
The days when I thought there were things I “should” watch/read/play/listen to are long gone. Not being driven by what is “the thing to do” makes life so much better.
Not having much choice also makes life easier. There were times when I spent more time clicking around in the flood of what I could consume than I did choosing and enjoying. Now, if I can’t decide in less than 5 minutes, I take it as a sign that I should do something else.
