With just a mobile phone or any decent device with a good enough screen, we have unlimited choices as to what we can watch on that particular day. But of course, with every great invention, there is always a downside that we must face, and unfortunately, the advantage of having streaming platforms give us the disadvantages that come with it. Obviously, one of them is not being able to decide what to watch because of the infinite number of films and series that we can watch.
