Well, sorry to break it to you but for most people the internet is FB, Google and Nf ...

And if you want to take a look at a blog and you have the video pack - just get the blog pack or ask a friend - or maybe your other friend can just download it and send it to you?

You are correct, "for most people". That is why I mentioned > "data packs make sense for many people." I assume that the audience here does not belong to "most people"

This is good. But what if I want to read something without letting my friends know I am reading it.

"Nf"?

"N(et)f(lix)"!

I know this is a little off track from the pertinent argument, but why abbreviate Netflix? You aren't saving any time in typing out your response and it can only serve to confuse the reader (I also had no clue what Nf meant).

the parent explicitly refers to nf.

The parent explicitly refers to Netflix, not "nf" or "Nf". You might say it was clear from context, but for at least two people that read the comment it was not at all clear. It's not a big deal, I'm just always curious about everyone abbreviating things.

Netflix
