Counter-counter-argument:

Neither beauty nor art are available through Netflix's streaming platform.

Solid argument
Hang a freaking painting or photo.
Do you have any idea how much CO2 it takes to create and hang a painting or photo?
I assume that you incur the cost once and amortise it over the life of the photo/painting.
Still wasteful and frivolous. Imagine how many more people the globe could support if we stopped being so greedy and thoughtless with entertaining ourselves.
