I used to binge-watch anime reactions instead of the actual shows

Back in 2020 I spent 4 months just watching reactors on YouTube because I thought it saved time, but now I actually sit down and watch the episodes first. Has anyone else fallen into that weird reaction video loop and how did you break out of it?

Know exactly what you mean, I did the same thing for a while. Felt like I was keeping up with shows without the time commitment, but I realized I was missing all the little details and quiet moments that make them special. Just started forcing myself to watch one episode at a time, no skipping ahead or checking reaction videos first.

Caught myself speedrunning a 10-episode series in one night last week and honestly felt like I'd just binged a PowerPoint presentation. Told myself I was being efficient but really I just didn't want to sit with the awkward silences and slow burns. Now I'm trying to treat each episode like a tiny movie and it's way harder than I expected tbh.
