I am sure almost all of you are either already hooked on to the Amazon Prime Video streaming app or Netflix, or some other app that I am still unaware of. In fact, I feel not being subscribed to them is kind of being uncool, or is it?
Of late, I too have started loving these apps, and this is kind of a deviation, because I don’t watch any TV at all.
By the way, did you know an interesting statistical fact about the app? Netflix very recently released their statistics which showed that viewers watched a total of 140 million hours of virtual content each day! Each day?!
I am not very sure of such exact numbers for Amazon Prime videos, but I am sure the statistics will be equally fascinating.
If anything is to go by, I am one of those viewers on Amazon who is contributing greatly to their viewing hours. And you know what? I am hating myself for it.
And what happened when I got hooked on to binge watching these shows online? Well, my lovely books and those handmade paper notebooks I spent a bomb on started drowning under mounds of dust.
Not just that, I forgot the entire concept of time as well as that of self-restraint. I mean, how does a 45 minute episode entice me to stay awake when I am dropping dead of exhaustion, and still convince me that I need only 5 more minutes to watch a new episode? That typical bas paanch mint aur thing. Damn!
And oh my goodness, did I even tell you the amount I am now spending on makeup? Just to take care of my racoon eyes? Of course they all tell you that sleeping is the best way to keep dark circles at bay. But do they tell you that for that, you need to first stop watching those too-good-to-stop series? No, never!
There is so much more that is going wrong with me, all due to this binge watching. From devouring delicious packs of Maggie noodles in the dead of night, to waking up like a horrible version of the scary witch, I tell you, these TV shows should come with some new disclaimers!
