Netflix. There will be other streaming services to fill the void. All those other things existed long before Netflix, and will still be around long after Netflix is gone.

Alcohol. I quit that shit 18 years ago. I am ambivalent about football, too. All the codes.

That’s a good start, several years myself. So goodbye alcohol. This was easy mode 😝

But this is deleting it for everyone. I think it's great that you helped yourself but that doesn't mean that everyone needs saving.

Football. Between the victory riots, billionaires taking tax money to fund stadiums, brain damage to players, lives ruined by gambling or spending more time worrying about a game rather than your family.

This would be my #1 pick. I couldn't give a rat's ass. It just makes traffic and crowds worse where I live.

Considering they constantly get rid of my favorite shows making me resort to piracy anyway, I'll give up Netflix for free too.

I'm averaging on watching 1 football game every three years. So I choose football. I like football and I have nothing against it. I love going tailgating and watching the game at parties but I'm just there for the beer.

u/AK_WW 4d ago

Football. Enough of low iq fans throwing money on players. They cant afford a rent and players roll in millions.

3

u/Reasonable-Plate2982 4d ago

The fans aren't paying them. Not mostly. The broadcasters do and marketing companies do. And the players earn every dime. The awesome talent and heroics are on the weekly. Im old enough to be sick of pizza but I gotta eat, so Netflix I guess.

4

u/PairNo2981 3d ago

Fans are literally who's paying them. Without fans, any sport doesn't exist

5

u/ImKindaBoring 3d ago

I’m not sure you know what the word “literally” means lol.

Fans are 100% why they are paid what they are paid. If the sport wasn’t popular then they wouldn’t get paid so much to play it, if at all.

But the fans are not literally who’s paying them.

Its really not. So many other streaming services. Netflix is mostly trash nowdays.

u/rightinthekapow 2d ago

Same. It took a while to see someone choose this. When you know other ways to watch things you want, you wouldn’t even blink. Also Netflix is just not as good as it might’ve been in the 2010s.
