I just don't see the reason to do it.

If I have time to watch a 20min video it's because I'm at home doing nothing and home is where my TV and computers are. If the only thing I have is my phone that means I'm out doing something, so I don't have time to watch a 20min video.

My child will watch a 20-minute video on any device capable of displaying it.

Many people watch Netflix on their phones, somehow

[–] lazyalpaca 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm one of them and my main reason is because Netflix mobile is free

I sometimes watch long YouTube videos on my phone while in my living room, where my huge screen also is. Don’t ask me why, but I like it.

Either that or you're commuting in a country with good signal coverage, for instance. I live in a hilly region in Europe, so streaming while commuting is difficult because of tunnels, but it can be done.

Good thing your personal experiences are the only possible way to live. For a second there we were dangerously close to self awareness!

Good thing I said """I""" don't see the reason to do it, as in this is my use case for me personally . For a second there I was dangerously far from saying "No one should ever"
