Trauma from Streaming

The specific fatigue, anxiety, and decision-paralysis induced by the paradox of infinite choice on platforms like Netflix or Spotify. It's the exhaustion of scrolling through thousands of options only to rewatch The Office again, the guilt of an ever-growing "Watch Later" list that feels like homework, and the fragmented attention from algorithmically-jarring autoplay jumps. The trauma stems from the loss of intentional viewing, replaced by a passive, overwhelming flow where consumption feels both mandatory and deeply unsatisfying.
Example: "We planned a movie night and spent 90 minutes scrolling, arguing, and reading reviews. We finally gave up and went to bed. That's trauma from streaming. The platform's endless abundance didn't bring joy; it killed our ability to choose and made us feel guilty for not watching perfectly."
