Well, this is embarrassing. I watched two seasons of the show 'You' in 7 days. Honestly, I kind of hated myself for it. BUTTT instead of engulfing myself with sadness, I went on a mission to figure out how to stop the Netflix addiction and build a healthier relationship with the platform.
Cause let's be real, I'm not going to quit Netflix anytime soon. I took a deep dive into the different ways Netflix keeps our attention, the impacts on our mental health, and ways for us to maintain a healthy relationship with Netflix.
Enjoy!

I’m a little embarrassed.. 😅
2 Seasons in 7 days? Bro thats nothing. Thats not even considered binge watching in my book, try finishing both seasons in 2 days or less, thats the type of time I was on. Then come and talk to me.
@@billyenaire yeah I'm on the same level right now, I'm about to fail my exams because it -_-'. Thanks for the tips Curiosity Culture !
What's you problem, if you don't see netflix or another one you will see TV shit all day with soap operas and commercials included. You will see sports you don´t are very much a fan, and follow tv series and wait 1 week for the next episode. For me it's over I'll never wait for a episode again. 2 seasons in 7 days that's nothing. Normally I see 2 or 3 episodes of the same series and then see another different to not get bored.
no need your not alone
I would be too but your honesty is appreciated.
i finished 5 seasons of lucifer in 5 days and i’m loosing my mind. everywhere i go i see references to the show and i genuinely feel like it’s taking over me
the references i see arent on purpose i’m just going crazy lol
Literally me with the magicians. 4 season in 4 days then when the 5th finally came to Netflix I was able to slow it down to 2/3 days
The protagonist literally holds you up , he did a great job, The DEVIL really suits him.
But I completed S2, and I dont wanna watch S3 cause it literally has 29 EPS , could you please help. What EPS can I leave .
(Btw watch DARK , it's just soo good)
i feel u
Omg exactly what I have done these past days
Thank you so much for this! I also noticed that when i start binge watching a show, its so funny because while i am watching it, i feel so good and excited. Once i stop, i would get extremely depressed and also feel unmotivated and unhappy with my own life. I stop meditating, stop making time for anything that is important in my life. This is so unhealthy. These tips are great! I now usually only allow myself to watch at certain times of the day and during the other time, i focus on my priorities. Great video!
@aureliamedusaa definitely no I am also
But i cant stop at 1, i tried this, completely uninstalling and not even watching them might help until my brain heals
You are not a normal human being to realise this in 7 days !! Hats off .. I have been doing this almost 7 years and I feel a lot guilty at times but can’t stop . May be looking for a video like this is my first step to limit my watching tv shows .. hopefully ..
Haha maybe it’s cause I get super anxious when I’m watching tv for a long period of time. Honestly, take it one step at a time and you’ll get there!
I finished 3 seasons of Lucifer in 3 days......yeah I really needed this video. I’ve also noticed that even though I know that the binging isn’t good for me, in the moment it is so addicting, for example last night I was exhausted and I kept telling myself only one more episode but next thing I know it’s 5 am and I only have around 5 more episodes left of the show, and once I finished the show I immediately felt really let down and depressed. I think this is because I spent so much time invested in the show and then it just ended. Thank you for this video
I’ve recently fell into the trap watching scandal on Disney plus !.. I searched this topic on UA-cam and happy to see others talking about it , I watched a few episodes cause I was bored on a Friday night and before I knew it I wasted the entire weekend in bed , binge eating and watching the show! I’m usually exercising , cooking , walking , sleeping well and only in a few days I lost it all and had no motivation to do anything but watch the show it’s scary how powerful it is!- thankful for your video and bringing light to the issue hope more can realise and learn balance too :)
i actually stopped my netflix and amazon subscription (and i'm considering getting rid of my hulu acct now). i would swing from extremes: either i binge watch or I never watch anything, thus making me feel like i'm wasting money. I've honestly not missed netflix at all (it's been about 10 months) and it's been a few months since getting rid of amazon. I think I would've kept it if I was more likely to watch tv shows or movies. I prefer to watch youtube videos though haha.
Yeah, that’s a smart move. And yeah I agree I like youtube way more :)
I feel after binging and finishing a show
You come to reality to figure out how much time wasted on binging rather than doing what is to be done for the day.
Same feeling occurs after playing games for too long or investing time in something that isn't worth it
finished watching money heist all 4 seasons in 3 days...ty for uploading this video..👍
That's very impressive! Glad you liked the video :)
I binge watched every sitcom on Netflix in a month aaaaahhh
Hope you're still healthy
So glad I found your channel. Amazing content dude. Keep it up and I’m certain your channel will grow. I’m addicted to amazon prime video. It’s the same concept.
Thank you so much! And very interesting, i haven’t looked into the world of amazon video. Maybe for the best haha
I know my addiction is bad when I’ve binged whole seasons in a single day.
Tested my screen time last week and it said 7 hours for Netflix alone on average
try 12 hours on average 🥲
I was literally just thinking about this and found this video. Love this content! You got a new subscriber :)
3 tips @ 7:23 :
1. time tracking with an app (toggl)
2. stop autoplay on netflix
3. positive reinforcement (''after I finish goal/ task A , I'm going to watch an episode'')
Sadly this doesn't work for me i had to completely uninstall those apps
6:10 Damn I can relate to it, i was getting depressed too for not being able to continue my health routine and felt guilty for that 🥲. I've finally decided to get rid of my Netflix addiction, I'll start other hobbies like reading books that are pending and playing chess for dopamine and exercising my brain.
6:44 holy shit and i was wondering why I was having a headache, this is no different than any drug addiction 😱
i also felt really guilty after binge-watching season 1 of stranger things but then i started doing productive things with watching it and it was amazing
Finished watching umbrella academy both season within 1 and a half day no sleep🥱🥲
And I subscribed.Really a great vid man.Loved it
i just searched video about binge watching coz i finally realize there's things need to be fix about my recent habit. all I can say is Thank you for the video. dunno what others think but i feel it helped me to start overcoming my binge watching. thank you, and I mean it 😊
Of course! hope the advice is helping :)
Nice one bro really nice. I also decided putting friction to this watching habit by making a rule of thumb for my self like I will only watch something when I am watching with someone like with friend, gf, cousins. Never to watch alone so it was a biggest hurdle bez no one is free at the same time so my time decreased drastically 😂😂.
Your video literally popped up as I finished binge watching Elite on Netflix
Wow! That’s actually crazy. 😂
I completed all seasons of Elite in just 3 days.... and believe me, i'm a real busy person.. 🤷🏻♀️
Brilliant video, I pay for Netflix & I don't use/watch it everyday, some people feel compelled to watch it alot to get their moneys worth, people shouldn't let it dominate their lives & get in the of productivity, my advice is don't replace a TV show with another one, meaning don't watch a box set for the sake of it, watch something that you genuinely like & enjoy
In my life, I used NETFLIX only once, last year... to watch two movies.
That's all.
Consider yourself lucky!
@@CuriosityCulture i watch game of throne in 7 day
U know what seriously you're my inspiration. And now I'm going to get your name tattoed and also gonna stick a big poster of yours in my room.
@@Palak-tr2ws why
Netflix = TV series + Movies + Documentaries , you don't like TV? It's TV with freedom of schedules.
I wasted my 5 months binging webseries and watching movies
Damn i wish i would've studied that time 😭
And i realised something that these thing separates u from your reality
We meed to escape from these fantasy world.
UA-cam is part of the problem too!! Not just Netflix. Please include that so it doesn’t seem biased (against your income provider)
Thanks for talking about this subject 👏
Beginning of vid: How I STOPPED for good
End of vid: Looking forward to season 3!
So... which is it
😂
Ohhhhh dang! You got me 😂😂 hoping next time I won’t binge watch the whole thing
Hi, my opinion is...
Watching 1 episode a days or 1 movies a days are still ok.
I kind of want to stop watching Netflix because when I see the amount of hours I spend on binge watching, I could literally have learned a new language within the past year
Thank you for your awareness and realizing that this is an Insidious technology
Yeah, binge watching is kind of stupid, it's ok when you are watching, but it leaves you with such a small amount of feelings afterwards and you use up so many hours of a day...
One solution I had was parental control software where I could define time limits to different programs and even websites. It was effective - I limited my daily internet time to something like 3 hours (bit more on weekends) and did it without using any willpower (I gave passwords to friend, for emergency situations, so I really couldn't bypass the program for any light reasons), but sadly it didn't work on windows 10. When daily time limit ended, I didn't feel frustrated, it was more like feeling of freedom...
I would say that people generally are probably not build for doing stuff when they feel like it, but to adhere to surrounding schedules. So it's probably better to set up you netflix, internet connection and such so that it has limited availability.
Been binge watching and binge eating the last 5 days. That's why I'm here. I need to clean my house!
This is a learning experience and very interesting, too-Also, it’s a message within a message
Sooooo I am definitely guilty of the Netflix binge watch 🙈 I had no idea the thumbnails were personalized too! So interesting!!
Haha aren’t we all :)
How about we appreciate this video and this channel? This video definetly deserves more than 1k view
:) In due time these videos will blow up
I got my cousin/aunt to watch "You" and we were up until 5am finishing season 1 all the way through 😵
Season 2 is on hold simply because of the weather but my goodness. So! Before finishing this video ima just say I never watch the trailers and what grabs me in is the fact I can binge a whole season, pause a show and go on to another. I'm watching a few k dramas too I finished Vagabond recently and that was upsetting...anyways I know this video is gonna be awesome thumbs up!
Haha it’s just so addicting. I can do a whole video on that show 😂
Curiosity Culture You shouldddddd
‘You’ is sooo good! Especially season 2! it’s the best out of the three.
Just watch everything I like in it then cancel it. I don't work for Netflix. Don't work for Disney+, I have seen all their Marvell movies, 2 seasons of agents of shield, 3 star wars movies, 3 x man movies and the last fantastic 4 movie , the Mandalorian 2 seasons in only one month and now cancel it. When my month free of prime ends I will cancel it, and wait for the end of expanse and sign for 1 month to see it and cancel again. I will sign Netflix to see ST discovery last 6 episodes, cobra Kai season 3 and the last 4 seasons of DS9 and Orange is the new black and cancel it in one month. Netflix and Prime don't have any good movies that I haven't seen yet. I don't understand why people insist in signing 1 year or more subscriptions.
I had to do a replay. "Two seasons in 7 days?" Wow. Not a huge TV or Netflix person myself. I'll get addicted to one show that I really like, maybe two, that I'll engage in maybe once a week. I can understand obsession and addiction. The negative side of it is as you explained, I agree. If its keeping you from doing other important and necessary things I can certainly see it being a very negative thing. Feels good while you're in the midst of it though. Thanks for the video.👍
Yeah honestly not proud of it. It feels good in the moment but has TERRIBLE side effects. Thanks for watching :)
pathetic
(its a meme i’m not tryna be rude)
but seriously you aren’t (weren’t) as bad as a lot of people,
@@-sorrymasendeshita-3039 Okay😄👍
Lol I only used Netflix to see what the hype was about with Stranger Things! Only time I used it so far.
Also, watching something for hours on a computer screen leads to getting headaches. At least that is what I noticed vs watching TV.
That might explain my post Netflix headache!!
If you find a way to quit, let me know 😂
Next day: Started watching DARK
I watched four seasons in tow days ,
i watched the whole 10 seasons of freinds in 10 days.....what u gonna tell me huh?
OMG.
Same. I can feel you.
Seriously, i got proff. Exams next Week and i can't stop watching friends.
@@mohidhassan3346 i know right
not me using this comment section to find new shows to binge watch
Me who completed whole naruto 700 episodes in just 18 days 🥲😶🌫️
i made some agreement with myself that i try to not get into some genres and my rate of watching something, like series, movie, etc. became much bearable and nice that i can just think this genre is based on the romance genre. ok i dont care about it bye :)
Great video!
Awesome video!
I got a Netflix ad on this video isn't this interesting?
How to stop binge watching Netflix video start with a Netflix advertisement 🙄 I was like
hahah!
what if I say I watched all 8 seasons of GOT( game of thrones)i this year in a week!

Netflix addiction is a serious addiction. It's nothing less than drugs. They are all drugs.
Is Watching Movies Daily Every Night is it Normal?? Or Healthy Habit
I mainly binge anime 🤓🤓 and I just can't stop

Hi!! Welcome :)

You lookalike some Indian TV show actor doppelganger
Me who finsihed 2 season in 3 days
There were always girls on thumbnails .. I thought if it was some kind of women empowerment.
Now I know it's because of something else 😂😂
After a long time out of Netflix, I started binge watching New Amsterdam and Vikings. Im sleeping at 2am for two weeks now. Gosh, this ends now.
Before, I always had two simple rules:
1. Only watch movies, so I know how long I'll be in the screen and I'm not anxious for what happens next, because movies actually end.
2. Only watch Netflix when I meet my girlfriend ( that's once a week).
I'm going back to my old habits and I hope this helps someone.
I watched Daily one movie Every Night is it bad or normal Man??
a chier
@Zachary Leblanc clock nice
