Unpopular opinion: I used to watch shows weekly, but after binging 'The Bear' in one weekend, I'm never going back.

Yeah it's like our brains are getting rewired for that instant payoff. I noticed I can't even wait for a microwave without checking my phone now. Binging a whole story just feels more satisfying than getting it in tiny pieces.

The microwave thing is a perfect example. I've started reading physical books again just to fight it. Scrolling through a social feed feels like eating a bag of chips, but finishing a whole season or a novel is a real meal. My phone is basically a slot machine I carry in my pocket. The buzz from a notification is a sad replacement for actual plot tension.
