We canceled our Netflix subscription something like six months ago, on the basis that there was literally nothing worth our time to watch.

It feels a bit like when I quit social media. I freed a surprising amount of time, and liberated this just incredible reservoir of emotional energy that was previously allocated to the Void.

Thanks to that surplus, I learned how to dance. Seriously leveled up my cooking skills. Walking away from the prolefeed made my life better in a cornucopia of ways.

Ditching streaming services (Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.) feels the same.
