Summary
There are millions of options available on streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu, and choosing what to watch can be daunting and often leads to infinite scrolling.
The author suggests a few techniques to help users finally select something to watch.
Firstly, to help tackle the watch list, users could find a friend or partner with a similar taste in entertainment to help narrow down the options and make decisions faster.
Avoiding binge-watching is recommended as it can lead to burnout, which in turn leads to infinite scrolling.
Setting aside a short period of time (no more than 15 minutes) for scrolling can help users narrow down their selections.
It is recommended, however, to avoid reading reviews, as users can watch a movie or show much quicker than they can read reviews.
Reading reviews can also negatively impact expectations and opinions before actually watching the show.
