Several generations of people grew up watching a dozen TV shows and a few movies .... generations before that just read books .... and endless generations before that just talked to each other retelling stories to one another ... I think we can exist by just watching less.
I've got several subscriptions on the go right now and the more I think about it, the more I realize, I don't need all this junk and if there is something I really want to watch for some reason ... I'll go sail the high seas and get it myself.
