Stop joking about Netflix’s games and start playing them
When it comes to movies and TV, Netflix-style subscription services are a bit of a racket. They are meant to provide the appearance of value over actual value. The hope is you just keep paying and never really think about how much or how little you use it — let alone do the math to see if it is more cost-effective to just outright buy the products you actually want, as opposed to having access to a whole bunch you might want. It’s FOMO as a business model, terribly compelling and a great way to disappear a bunch of your money, roughly $15-$20 a month.
