Leave the TV, something alive

Things have changed since we took out the masks and we can get in all without scanning. Actually. We will not return to the life of the day before yesterday, because we will not return to the hour.
High. Visas have been amended. Smells. And smells.

From that there is a witness: On Facebook and Netflix, we're doing it, at least it seems. Because in recent weeks it has been explained that both companies are working, among other things, on the liver.

"He says Netflix is declining. And my eyes are not going to cry too much for that, because I don't know what it is."

They say that the issue goes down, in these very pillars of ARGIA, others have explained much better than me. On the one hand, they have been reduced in the number of subscriptions, not only because Netflix, for example, has chosen to suspend Russian subscriptions, as they have lost other members, probably due to the end of the lockdown times. On the other hand, they have suffered significant stock losses, as capital escapes, that is, shareholders prefer to recover their money to invest in other matters, if necessary to produce in a new product they will propose to us, to offer it to our accessible parts of our brain. Capital roads are like this, what are we going to do? Firstly, those of us who do not have a single minor action.
Before the collapse of social media took place, I personally have been gaining ground since 2020. Well, who was going to say that to me? I had a lot of reasons. One for the informative pot we received then, the other because they had become places of calapita, and the other because Santi León had left Twitter and, therefore, deprived us of poetic tension.

Now it's Netflix time, it looks like it's going down. And my eyes are not going to cry very much for that, because I don't know what it is. In the last three or four years the TV on-demand service has been very successful, and this conclusion does not draw from the reading of data from any study, because to reach that conclusion I only have to listen to the nature of the tenor coffee talks, both in bar and in blind offices. For a miserable price, Netflix offers a giant TV service better than the contestants. More than Disney. That Canal. More than Warner. They say it is terrible and revolutionary, an excellent alternative to the medical programs offered on traditional television channels. The catalog is huge, as their coworkers say, from spending nights and nights in swirls, hundreds of different series, all fascinating and original, and they say that they're all so similar, impossible to imagine, that with blue light you can spend your whole life, see something, whatever it is, today, tomorrow, I get it. That is freedom, life and spending the soda on whatever you want, whatever you want.

For it does them well, because it is incomprehensible to those of us who are not going to spend more than three or four months on television, by choice or by violence.

After all, there is hope, people seem to have engaged in something better. They are not scarce: buy a book, touch the leather, watch how the hot pony spreads above the churros group, prune the jasmine, test the waters of the old port of Biarritz in April… Leave the television and turn on several vices.
