Strategies for Maximum Media Absorption (Binge Watching 101), Friday
"There are so many streaming services these days, and they all want you to pay them money, and technically, I guess, piracy is illegal or whatever," Vanessa said. "So what's a discerning media consumer to do when Netflix has one show you want to watch, and Disney+ has that show with the cute baby alien, and that other show you want to watch is on Hulu? You have options! Of course, one of them is 'steal someone else's credit card,' but much less illegal is 'get someone else's password.' But that's another class. Today we're going to talk about making the most of your free trial period."
"Clear your schedule, take some vacation days, get ready to settle in for just this. Just. This." That was healthy, right?
"Get it all in before you have to pay for it," Vanessa agreed. "This works best when there's just one show you want to watch, and you may want to stock up on sock email accounts for future seasons. And then, and this is very important, cancel your trial."
"We forgot once and had to commit credit card fraud. It was a whole thing." That he was just freely sharing with the class.
"Yeah, don't do that," Vanessa said. "Or, if you do that, don't get caught." She winked broadly at the class. "Your assignment...uh, I don't know. Did we come up with an assignment?"
"Pick a service to do a free trial on?"
That sounded good, right?
"And," Vanessa proclaimed, "Figure out how you're going to watch everything you want to on that service before your trial runs out."
