LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. — In a stunning press release yesterday, Netflix’s CEO has decided to make binge watchers pay a fee if they watch over two episodes per day. Netflix hopes that this decreased demand will let them start producing shows/movies that are actually quality- focused not just to increase the quantity.

“I really don’t care about making more money. I just want the demands for a new season for every show to stop. We just can’t do it anymore. JUST CONSUME AT A NORMAL PACE PLEASE!” cried one CEO as he was accosted by rabid fans on his way out of work.
