Seriously. There’s way too much content and no way most of it is worth my time. If it is, people will still be talking about it in a couple decades, and then I’ll think about it.

The amount of media we have instant access too has reached a size I find rather intimidating than inviting. Consuming media turns more and more into a chore than fun. Them dividing the available media into more services is a plus for me if I am honest.
I have access to one streaming service and if they do not have anything I am interested in, I just walk away and read a book, play a game, turn on music or go outside or do my household chores.
The times I thought that there were things I “should” watch/read/play/listen to are long over. Not being driven by what is “the thing at the moment” makes life so much better.
Also 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 instead of chooseing and enjoying something. Now if i can’t decide in less than 5 Minutes I see it as a sign that I should od something else.

That’s why I cut the cord many years ago.
Most months I only have 1 streaming subscription, and for a couple of months each year I don’t have any.
As the old song said “I’ve got 57 channels and there’s nothing on”

According to the Paradox of Choice, when you have to choose from lots of options, you’re likely to be less satisfied with the same end product.

There are an absurd amount of perfectly good books and /or audio books out there. TV or movie as the only way to pass the time indoors may stop being the case. If it does I’m ready.

Then you should stop paying for whatever service you subscribe to but are not using. Sounds like you don’t need it.
