Well, let's see:
I watch one movie a night, and/or one episode of a five or six-hour TV
collection, sometimes "or".
I cook dinner.
I socialize with family and friends.
I work at my professional source of income for the Netflix subscription.
I take walks, now that there's a winter chill in the fall air.
I post on the Internet.
I get up from my chair and interact with fellow human beings.
And, in various other ways, I DON'T spend the majority of my spare time
worrying about how to mercilessly bloodsuck the last penny out of a $15
basement-level subscription...And--here's a mindblower--think nothing of
paying literally a few dollars more if I want to have the luxury of
*four* movies per week, in and of themselves plenty for my schedule.
Needless to say, I also get my New Releases the week they come out.
(Is the company deliberately @$$-kissing me for my so-called "normal"
viewing practices as opposed to the diligent and military-strategized
efforts of others?
Yyyyep. You betcha. Smooch-a-roonie. I'd like to pull my pants back
up now, but they do keep insisting....No, really, guys, I just said I'd
like to see "Superman Returns" SOMETIME, I didn't mean right immediately!")

Because you're too busy copying the Next One. Like most fixes, it's all
about the Next One.
