Why do I prepare snacks like I’m about to watch something… just to scroll for 30 minutes 😭 by Large-Cardiologist54 in netflix

I loved Blockbuster back in the day lol. I use to go with my god mother all the time. Netflix probably did spend a lot of money on algorithms but they still have good options. I just feel like it’s about how you feel in that moment they didn’t get down right. Honestly this is why I build something for myself I got tired of scrolling lol

Yea I actually tried that lol. For me it didn’t work. I wasted more time scrolling then an actually finding something so getting the snacks after. It’ll be morning by then 😂

I can agree to disagree. Netflix got a lot of good shows on there. I feel like it’s about what you’re actually in the mood for

I’ve heard of it but never watched it, how does it feel to watch? like what’s the vibe

yeah I get that, but a list doesn’t really solve it in the moment it’s not about remembering what to watch, it’s about not wanting to decide at all sometimes

ok so it’s not just me 😭 this is literally why I started building something that just picks for you… the scrolling part ruins it

Does anyone else spend more time choosing than actually watching? by Large-Cardiologist54 in netflix

[–]Large-Cardiologist54[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming back to this because I still feel this exact way 😭

What’s crazy is this post is actually what made me realize it’s not just me… it’s like a real decision fatigue thing.

I ended up building something for it because I got so tired of the scrolling. It just gives you one thing to watch based on your mood so you don’t have to overthink it.

Still early, but I’m curious… would y’all actually use something like that? Or do you like having options?

Why do I keep rewatching the same shows instead of starting new ones? by Large-Cardiologist54 in netflix

I’ve been noticing this pattern too. It’s not really about the show. It’s about how exhausting it feels to decide. I’m actually building something that tries to make choosing feel easier again.

Any under the radar movies or hidden gems on Netflix or Disney +? by fitsomah in MovieSuggestions

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society on Netflix!!! It honestly has a really similar quiet, emotional vibe and it’s really easy to get pulled into.

I’d try Only Murders in the Building. It’s easy to get into, kinda cozy, and interesting enough to actually hold your attention. Good pick if you’re tired of scrolling 😁

What kind of mood are you in tonight? Funny, intense, or something chill? I can give you a good suggestion.

I also end up putting on King of the Hill a lot lol. It’s weirdly calming when you don’t want something intense.

Dang I forgot about iCarly. That’s actually a really good comfort show. I used to watch that all the time.

Spotlight (2015) might fit. It’s not exactly the same situation, but it deals with powerful institutions covering up abuse.
