I hit 100 shows on my watchlist and realized I've actually finished maybe 12 of them
I finally counted my streaming watchlist last night and it's at exactly 103 titles, which honestly shocked me because I thought it was like 40. I did the math and I've only made it through about 12 of them, mostly because I keep starting new ones when a season drags past episode 4. Anyone else have a watchlist that's basically a graveyard, or is it just me hoarding stuff I'll never press play on?
See, that number doesn't bother me at all. A watchlist isn't a to-do list, it's more like a bookshelf. You keep stuff on there because it looked good in the moment and maybe someday it will be. Who cares if you only finish 12? Those 12 were probably the right 12 for you, and the other 91 didn't earn your time. The problem isn't hoarding, it's feeling guilty about it, and that guilt is what makes people cancel stuff they might actually want later. Just let the list grow and stop keeping score.
