- People very very infrequently watch the same movie/tv show twice.
- People very very frequently listen to the same song
therefore

- The future is more important for movies since you are looking fwd to watching something new

While probably true now, this will change over time. Most people I know (mid/low 20s) use netflix as a replacement for the radio - putting on The Office / parks and rec just as background noise while doing other things. Those shows have been on repeat in my house everyday for a few years.

With over 200,000 scientists from all over the world relying on Quartzy, we help accelerate the pace of scientific discovery, and we need your help to accelerate our own pace as well.
What we're looking for:
- You have three or more years of experience writing clean, thoughtfully crafted PHP that scales.
