The Netflix side-eye
You have to admit, it’s a little strange that The Social Dilemma is a Netflix original, since Netflix itself is a web-based media relying on algorithms, isn’t Netflix basically doing what The Social Dilemma is talking about?

America’s most wanted: Notifications
If you learn anything from The Social Dilemma, it’s to never click on those notifications. So, basically, they belong on our enemy list from now on.

Or, better yet, this is only way to truly get rid of your computer

Every audience member watching on Netflix:
Realizing just how accurate The Social Dilemma really is about all of our addictions to our phones & social media might be the creepiest thing about the documentary.
Me fighting the urge to check notifications on my phone while watching the documentary from TheSocialDilemma
Must. Not. Look. At. My. Phone.
Those notifications are so tempting, but that’s the point isn’t it?
