I have a love hate relationship with Netflix. On the one hand, I love all the options available to stream. I am crazy about the fact that I can use my account from all my devices, and I can share that account with my mom. And the video quality, don’t get me started. Netflix is great, especially for those of us who like to binge our favorite series. Summer 2013 I did nothing but sit in my stretchy pants and watch Dawson’s Creek start to finish. I laughed. I cried. I overheated my laptop. On the other hand, I can’t stand Netflix. It’s tough to convince myself to pay monthly for shows I can watch on other websites for free. Is it legal? No. But I occasionally do it so don’t judge me. Plus, with my recent move across the country, I sort of need to start saving all my nickels and dimes.
My biggest problem with Netflix is more of a problem with the person I become when I have an account. An addict. That next episode button has stolen hours of my life and persuaded me into watching way too many episodes of early 2000s teen dramas.
I eventually cut ties with Netflix a few years ago for whatever reason *cough free options cough* and hadn’t thought about it since. Last summer though I spent a lot of time at home, a lot. I mentioned to my mom possibly starting a Netflix account again, she had no idea what I was talking about then I never thought about it again.
Somebody explain to me how a free trial offer pops up in my inbox the next day?
The next day!
Instances like this make me paranoid that someone is watching my mundane life from a satellite in space somewhere because how did they know? How did the people at Netflix know I was entertaining the idea of coming back and all I needed was a free trial period for them to sink their teeth into me. Since that day I’ve received other offers to start my second free trial, and like an addict it’s getting harder and harder to say no. I cant be with you Netflix! I’m moving soon, summer semester is killing me plus I’m job hunting, I just don’t have the time to devote to us right now! Then again, the offer expires at the end of August, so maybe I’ll take the bait as a reward for finding a job. Either way, Netflix has a great marketing and outreach team, because they found me just as I was playing with the idea of coming back. Seriously though, good job guys!
Do you guys have a Netflix account, and if you do, are you able to exit out after just one episode? What’s the longest you’ve ever sat and watched Netflix?
