A movie a night
For a long time, I tended to binge videos on Youtube. i have the ad-free subscription and I would just let the auto play carry me away. I found that the longer I did it, though, the more unhappy I was. As in every part of my life, the algorithm was slowly driving me crazy.
I finally had enough and switched to watching a movie a night. I have always loved film but much like with reading, I had slowly stopped doing it. For the last couple of months, though, I made a long list of movies on Letterboxd and every time I start mindlessly watching on Youtube, I start watching a movie. It has been a real improvement in my daily happiness. I’m starting to think about writing about the movies I watch. Last night it was Kubrick’s The Killing. Tonight it’s Rear Window.
