"Steamitis" is a common disease among PC gamers who use the service Steam by Valve.
The disease was first discovered when a player of 13 had acquired his Mother's credit card number during one of the first Holiday Sales. The child had purchased 437 games and only spent 39.00 USD. Since this event, anyone who purchases 15 games or more during a Steam sale of any kind has the disease Steamitis.
Symptoms include:
Loss of money
Limiting hard drive space
Sore eyes
Sleep deprivation
An 8 Steam rating or higher
AIDS
Steam User 1: Man, there went my pay check already. And my hard drive is already low on space! What the hell happened?
Steam User 2: It's the Holiday Sale, man! I just bought five games for 55 cents.

Notable examples include Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max.

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
