Would make economic sense for a ton more of "Choose your own Adventure" content

I can imagine watching Bandersnatch and getting rid of the game developer in frame 1. The remaining 90 minutes, his dad having a quiet, stress-free Tuesday.

Removed brain cancer from xray films

Enjoying 5 seasons of chemistry lessons

Removed the mother. Enjoying 9 seasons of a man cornering his teenagers on a couch, describing every woman he's ever dated.
Removed the ring. Just watching three movies of Frodo and friends living life in Hobbiton.
Reminded me of "Garfield Minus Garfield" - https://garfieldminusgarfield.net/

"""

Garfield Minus Garfield is a site dedicated to removing Garfield from the Garfield comic strips in order to reveal the existential angst of a certain young Mr. Jon Arbuckle. It is a journey deep into the mind of an isolated young everyman as he fights a losing battle against loneliness and depression in a quiet American suburb.

Removed the zombies. Just a guy in a sheriff's hat losing every group vote on where to camp next.
Removed the island. Now it's just a surgeon, a lottery winner, and a man carrying 40 knives all trying to get through TSA.
You forgot the /s
Removed the /s. Nothing materially changed.
Inserted myself to Friends. Endlessly rewatching every epidode trying hard to disassociate from my real self
That's actually a really good idea. It would be like fanfic except replacing actors instead of writing new plots. Die hard fans of various shows would go banas over it.
That’s the usual mode of watching Friends these days? :)
Nobody can afford real friends in this economy
