comment: There is also the idea that I could get really into a show on Netflix, and then because it didn't hit an arbitrary magic number, it get canned.
  
  Shows were getting cancelled long before Netflix. 
  
  it could be such a niche show that no one in your personal life knows about it or talks about it and you have no one to discuss the show with
  
  These shows tend to have their big cultural moments where you all watch the big show of the time. But I have plenty of people in my life that I trade shows with, they watch my niche show and I watch their's and then we discuss both.
  As for finding songs, I've found Spotify an endless source of new and exciting music. I love putting on an artist radio of a band I've been digging and finding loads of new music.
