  • I’ve only got a out 1.5tb but if I ditched Netflix I’d need to download 10+ shows with hundreds of episodes. I’ve already got a few 6+ season shows on my Plex but it’s mostly 1-2 season newer shows because everything has segregated so much in the past few years. If you don’t have Disney+ and want to see all the marvel shit, it’s adding up quick. It’s not like I’m rewatching all this stuff, I have 300 movies and rewatch one or two maybe once a year. I just keep everything because it’s not very expensive to me. If I need more space I’ll drop £100 and have storage for the next 5+ years.

    Then there’s the people who download 25gb 4k movies and shit, I will occasionally but I don’t like to do it.







  • Sure, if you’re studying the effects of social media, you’ll have to go on it. That’s not what we’re talking about though. Kids aren’t needing to communicate through social media with other “researchers” at school. Not sure why you’re equating school children to scientist doing actual first hand research, school projects are almost always second hand information, from the research papers, even if they’re about social media.

    But let’s not kid ourselves, 99% of what students used YouTube for was timewasting. I didn’t like it when I was at school but I recognise blocking YouTube was easier than monitoring every kids computers at school to make sure they’re working.

    They’re meant to be using link aggregators like Google Scholar to find papers, not Facebook. Definitely not TikTok.

    And idk what it’s like in your country but the vast majority of research for school here was done at home for homework, where you can watch all the “lectures” you want. Kids just look at dumb shit when they’re at school so they don’t have to work. They also don’t have time to be watching hour long lectures in class. You really don’t need access to social media sites at school.

    Imagine thinking I’m on a high horse because I understand kids like wasting time. Give me one good reason someone would need to use TikTok for school purposes. XD
