I always feel somewhat icky when it seems like my phone is clogged. I delete things as soon as I have no need for them. All that except ebooks and a few videos I just can’t let go of, that is all.
When it comes to entertainment, from movies to anime, I always prefer to just stream. Same goes for music. I use spotify and pay for the premium. I get a mini panic attack when I download stuff to my phone. This is because of that one time when the motherboard of a phone I just bought crashed after I collected some movies to pass time. I was in shock all of that night.
Anyway, I became cautious of downloading stuff and would get only 3 episodes max at a time, until I got this phone and streaming was just like a breeze. I would stream and close the tab when I’m done. It is easier to manage and less cloggy. However, I’m not oblivious to the data usage. However, I found that streaming may be cheaper than downloading for me. I don’t know if it is just me but I think I believe it especially since I and my cousin stay together.
She and I subscribed to 2GB for two days. She prefers to download movies. She exhausted the data downloading an entire series, 16 episodes. Now, I don’t know if it was the network provider rates but I streamed the entire 4 Seasons of an anime and in between replied messages, viewed WhatsApp status and even some really cute cat shorts on YouTube. Yet, for those two days, the data lasted. I was inclined then to believe that streaming may be cheaper for me but I’m not sure.
Regardless, I prefer to stream. There is this anxiety that comes with downloading anything longer than 1 minute and I can’t enjoy the movie. I become impatient to finish it and send it off the phone. So, I keep skipping parts just to be done. Even if the data plan is more expensive, my entertainment and relaxation matters more to me than a few bucks. Like my cousin always sings, “Do not look or think like your problems. Just as problem no dey finish, data no go finish”. I laughed so hard the first time she made that statement and it made sense because the way she explained it, even if you don’t have data now, it has not finished in the world. Money will always come to get it. It sounded brilliant to me.

I like discarding my stuff immediately thanks to Dara who made me see the importance of doing that. Having your phone storage unnecessarily filled up can truly hinder the performance of your device.
At this point, I need to check out the data consumption between streaming and downloading because my smart TV sucks up data like crazy when streaming.
Ah. Smart TV are on a different level o. And Dara is right. Keeping stuff could hinder device performance. One thing I really hate.
