Binging Hell of Presidents, Matt (the largest of the chapos, who should be able to eat the smaller ones) said something that resonated with me- the idea that our connection with class is so disassociated and immaterial that the only way we can express ourselves is through consumption.

I realised he was 100% right, but sadly realised I couldn't figure out alternatives. Is there any answer apart from getting off our damn iphone? (it's community connection right? But we still have to consume food and culture to do so...- or am I taking it too literally?)

    when tf did that become a thing? I guess when Netflix made sure that they’d hook everyone in by immediately playing the next episode as soon as the credits started rolling

    Minor point but binge watching predates Netflix auto play. Once you had TV show piracy, DVRs, and availability of whole shows on DVD (couldn't really do this on VHS), binge watching naturally emerged. I had plenty of friends who were binge watching LOST back in like 2006.
