"I often find that there's a tendency to endlessly navigate a streaming service just to find something to watch."

I miss in person product discovery and wayfinding mechanisms, even if I know they themselves are (were?) curated (toy stores, record stores, book stores). I have diligently tried to adapt well to digital discovery, but it hasn't been the same for me. Part of it is haptic, but another part is that digital seems overwhelming. I also get discouraged when I know exactly what I want to find digitally and I'm given myriad other options except the one I want. I look forward to constant evolution in the space and I actually think that AR/VR scenarios can help there.

Yeah. I'm not sure it was a "good" use of time (whatever that means) but I do miss browsing book stores and record stores--especially used ones. I still do it from time to time but, to be honest, it's mostly a "for old time's sake" sort of thing. The music is almost certainly available streaming and there's an almost infinite number of books available for purchase/download (with reviews) online as well.
