I agree that paper-medium has a huge advantage. If I had to find a word to describe it, it would be without a doubt Tangibility. The usual argument, is that, people are just more used to paper, but while that's definitively true, it doesn't do justice to how bad screens are in comparison - for a certain subset of use-cases.
Paper is there. It's _very_ easy to interact with, with a _wide_ variety of tools for manipulation. In relation to Netflix:
I've subscribed to Netflix, a year or two ago. I've subscribed to HBO, a couple of months ago.
Due to the increasing amount of streaming services, I'm now thinking of reverting back to P2P sharing (torrents) with a proper VPS setup (It's legal on my country of residence).
There are several reasons for this - none of those is pricing - which to be fair, is very okay for now - I pay less that 10$/month for both services - I'll probably have to spend more in a personal setup): - Data freedom - i.e. no way of 1984 disappearing from my library) - Privacy - UI/UX-wise stable - Functionally stable - An open ecosystem, which means I can hack some tools for it. I don't find it slow, though. |
