Why Netflix is Killing Free Will (and then Democracy)

#videoessay #socialmedia #commentary
Ever found yourself paralyzed by endless Netflix options or trapped in an infinite social media scroll? A Tik Tok Binge? An Instagram Trap? In this video, I dive deep into the hidden forces behind our constant indecision-uncovering why it feels so impossible to choose even the simplest things in our modern world.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, scrolling mindlessly through one app after another-this video is for you. Discover how our need for control has ironically given control to the very platforms we can’t stop using. And ask yourself: Is there really a way out?
Watch now to learn why we surrender our time and focus so easily-and what it might take to finally reclaim them. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share if you find this video resonates. Let’s decide to stop scrolling… but will you?

Even if no one else sees this or comments, I’m glad you made this, it really made me stop and think about all the nothing I comsume

[@moviemellon]

Thank you for your words :)
I‘m glad it reached someone at least!
I‘m not pretending that I‘m not a victim of this mindless behavior, but I‘m working on breaking these habits. And I hope that you can too :)

Ok, ok, your video is very convincing! I'll go read my book now:) Thank you for sharing your ideas!

[@moviemellon]

I hope it’s a good one too! :)

Every word rang true. We need to fix the algorithms

[@moviemellon]

Absolutely. Reclaim our free will and get out of these bad habits.

Your beard looks great! Wanted to comment this before I watch the rest of the video.

[@moviemellon]

Oh thank you! I really appreciate that :)

I am concerned by how much I use my phone. I am definitely addicted and compulsively use it. I guess because I have nothing or nobody else, I just use it because it’s right there. Sad really.

[@moviemellon]

I hate the phrase "Go out and touch grass". Something that seemed to help me, though, was going for a walk and leaving my phone at home. Breaking the habit by consciously working against this compulsion.

[@kaneclarke4825]

@ I agree and I should. Being honest, that kind of scares me. Which just shows the level of my addiction.

[@moviemellon]

If anything it is up to you to change it. And if you need a sign to take that step forward, this is it :) I believe in you!
