It is not that OTT platforms have started new recently. They were there for many years but they gained more importance during the coronavirus lockdown when people stayed back at homes and were opting for online learning and remote working jobs. Not every family is like how it is portrayed in filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya movies. Some members of the families don’t even agree or speak to each other for months despite staying in the same houses in reality.

In such a pandemic scenario, when “home” was the only rescue to not get affected by the COVID-19 infection, OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Zee5, Disney+ Hotstar among others got their new subscribers. So, life has become easier for people to watch new movies and web series all at the convenience of homes and their phones. But have you imagined what is the hidden cost that you are paying apart from the annual subscription fee of the OTT platform?

It is your precious time and attention that could have been used for something better to do in life. Say, for example, watching a series for an hour a day or a movie on a weekend is acceptable but if you are a vella person who has lost a job or has no studies to learn, and you are spending almost 6 to 8 hours of your every day just watching some crappy stuff online, then boss, you are doing major harm to your physical and mental health.
Nowadays work requires 8 to 12 hours of our eyes to stare at the screen and get the work done, but if your attention is on what dialogue did that actor say in the web series and how did your favorite actress dress in a particular movie every day, then not only is your eyes being strained for no good reason but your mind is also getting corrupted and addicted to online viewing for a longer time. Be a responsible viewer and watch limited shows and movies for a limited time as it will help you get enough time to focus on other aspects of your life that are also required for you to progress in your life.
