with most laypeople streaming, they don't really have a sense of how much space a season of tv shows is. you need something more relatable, like photos

There was a thread here the other day about how everyone just streams everything, and nobody knows what a file is any more. Why would someone know how big a photo is? They're all on Google anyway.

not everyone has google/icloud sync on.
people run out of space on their phones all the time.

I think the obvious Americanized measurement here is "number of football fields covered by 4x6 photos".

Wait, if one microSD card holds more than a year's worth of TV shows for an average person, does that imply paying $10/month for unlimited streaming is a really stupid idea? Granted it's not about paying for the recording medium, but still.
How about when you tell them it can store 38 seasons of TV shows in HD?*
Or 40 dual-layer Blu-Ray discs?
Does it seem like a lot or a little?
*Assuming 4 GB per 60-min drama episode in 1080p, and 13 episodes/season, all of which is pretty ballpark.
