Netflix calls out the 53 people who can’t stop watching A Christmas Prince:
enthusiasmgirl:
Just a key point to add to this, since we as adults seem to just frame everything as being about us. Before we make fun, can we consider this: the person who watched A Christmas Prince 53 times, or Bee Movie 357 times in 2017, or Pirates of the Carribbean every day according to Netflix? Maybe they have kids using their account not using a kids profile?
Because my niece has happily watched the same episode of Magic School Bus every time she’s been at my place. And if Netflix existed when I was a kid, it definitely would have wondered who the hell watches Ghostbusters or Yellow Submarine or (in case your argument is that those are good movies so why would Netflix dunk on them) Happy Gilmore multiple times per day every day.
Just a thought. Another thought: People are also just weeeeeird. The more data we have on them, the weirder they get.
so like, first off, that’s fucked-up proof that netflix is watching and we should all be terrified, but
secondly
it’s probably a fucking beauty salon or doctor’s waiting room or something where there’s an unattended tv to amuse people waiting
and it’s easiest to just replay a movie instead of put on tv with commercials for shit you don’t approve of
it’s like 100% something that many people have on in the background
there might be several cases of small children or someone with some kind of Issue obsessively rewatching something but seriously, statistically, it is someone’s background noise or waiting room filler. god.
(i know this because i only watch tv in waiting rooms so i notice it. when that’s the entirety of your moving-pictures-media consumption, you notice how it adds up.)
