How is this different to a YouTuber? They (at least the ones I have seen) release their Videos daily (or less often) as well and sometimes with different Content on different days. So you might even have to wait 2 Days or even a week to get the new episode of the Series you where watching.
It's true that you can binge on a series if you are new to the series (youtube or otherwise) but if you are up to date that is no longer the case.
That's a good point. I find that there is an almost limitless supply of entertainment online these days, as opposed to 5 channels and 6 Disney VHS tapes in my youth.
I don't think I could have resisted the compulsion to be on YouTube for all of my free time. I am lucky that there is a ton of social pressure on me to spend my time doing other activities.
It could be a personal problem, unique to me and a small amount of other people.
