Am I the only individual in the known universe not doing business with Netflix or similar sleazebag outfits? Because principle and because absent pressing need for product.



I increasingly feel left out of life because I don't contort my entire life around watching "the latest thing". It's becoming an increasingly sober realization that the world around me is becoming increasingly monocultural because _everyone is watching the same things_ and that it is a culture of which I am not a part.

I don't lament this, really. It's my choice. I'm just wondering if it's an observation that can only be made when you're not scrambling to watch the latest season of Game of Thrones (which I have never seen).


Neither have I, don't worry. Nor House of Madmen (whatever) or the latest installment on vampires. In fact, no TV at all.

My life is fine.


I truly don't miss it. In fact the past year, since I have turned off the tube, has been the most productive of my entire life.
