@Belatarr I see where you're coming from, but I know someone myself that watches TV literally 24/7. They literally can't miss an episode of the 5+ different shows they watch religiously. They feel as if they need to keep up with each episode otherwise they are missing out.
However, my real question is. Why is TV addiction not seen as an official disease like gaming is. Surely it should be. I mean if you're staring at a screen all day, barely moving from your seat. It does link to high blood pressure and more. Whereas gamers are actively using there brains. Netflix addiction is real and people will stay hooked as long as the series doesn't come to an end.

@Belatarr What you said kinda hurt man, I make videos on YouTube all based on gaming. I also earn money from it although I don't have many subscribers. I feel as if I have made an achievement from gaming, and I started making money from the age of 13 from YouTube.
Also I wanted to mention, what about TV? Why is that not seen as a disease? doesn't it have the same effect on you. "Just one more show, that's all". *Proceeds to watch 5 more episodes, until they realize that they've completed the whole series.
So now my question is to you, why is TV not classed as a disorder?
