Like, we didnt used to say

I'm watching the TV set
I'm watching the flat-screen
I'm watching the satellite
I'm watching the PC


Its weird that people refer to the distribution service rather than what they;re watching - a show or movie/film.

IMO.

Americans always go on about Netflix like it's a gift from god so I thought I'd get a good VPN service and try it out. It's poo poo.

The way people talk about it I expected it to have heaps of poo poo in it's library but Netflix has bugger all. Also the website is outdated, broken and poo poo and the recommendations it just pulls out of its rear end.

The problem isn't so much Netflix, it's that 99% of tv/movies are poo poo.

I get asked this at least once a week, maybe I should just make a sticky thread "gnarlyhotep is 42 years old, will update next year"
