On the Run from Netflix Autoplay
Briefly

I'm tired of this life—this endless scrolling, bouncing from show to show, all to stay one step ahead of the Netflix autoplay feature where they show you an incredibly irritating trailer... I need a new show—and fast.
I was watching 'The Great British Baking Show,' letting one episode bleed blissfully into the next, creating this little fantasy in my mind where maybe I learn to make baguettes, when suddenly it all unravelled... I’m overloaded, burned out—but there's no time to blink.
I can't stay here. It's not safe. I only watch 'Stranger Things' for the goofy kid in the trucker hat! I don't want to see 'Damsel.' I'm not even a Millie Bobby Brown fan!
I’ve always been an upstanding viewer. Never shared a password. Not even with my mother... Sorry, Mom, but it was for your own good. I couldn't inflict this agony of endless scrolling on the woman who gave me life.
