I'm somewhat of an oddball in terms of content preferences. Sure, I have Netflix and use it, but during the past 20 years, over 50% of the tv/film content I watch is foreign (I'm American). I keep lists from my favorite countries and ask foreigners what I should be watching. What would surprise me is finding Netflix-like services that curate the best [insert genre].

So far, I've come across MhZ Choice (for EU shows, with subtitles), FlixOlé (for Spanishf films, no subtitles), Wlext (foreign tv shows...pirated). Also, I recommend using a VPN for Netflix to access different shows and films, depending on the country you choose. The other day I found myself watching a Chinese action film that only had Italian subtitles (luckily my Italian is up to scratch).

With music, my tastes are boarderless and timeless. At any moment, I'll put on 13th century Iberian cantigas, Latin motets, folkloric Sardinian, 90's French indie, 1970s Congolese rumba, modern Ivory Coast reggae, South African Xhosa pop, Indian mantras, Peruvian ethno-techno, and the list goes on.

But yes, the plethora of options is, at the same time, wonderful and dreadful. I tried to sit down and start reading a semi-dense physical book the other day and it's like my mind was too fried to focus due to having just got off the internet.

The good old days of going down a Youtube rabbit hole :)
