There it is. Paying for Netflix alleviates the guilt of being such a rampant pirate of TV and movies.
Browsing Netflix is spending 30 minutes deciding to watch the "next best" thing because the movie you thought would be on Netflix just isn't there. You had your heart set on a movie, but instead of seizing the impulse and settling in to watch something, you have Netflix open in one tab, Rotten Tomatoes open in another.
If I can't watch the movie I thought I wanted to watch, then I'm not going to waste my time on something that rates poorly. But yet I'm wasting time reading these damn reviews... now it's 9pm and my movie buzz is gone. I've scrolled to the end of the Netflix page and now it's suggesting documentaries about World War 2 bombers... The page is an endless scroll, but we know we've reached the end.
Time to go to bed. No movie, no conversations. But at least I know that Downsizing scored 20% on Rotten Tomatoes.
