Do you enjoy watching things alone or with other people more, and how does it change the experience?

A natural way to answer

It changes the whole experience. Watching with others adds a social side, you share the reactions, the gasps, the laughs. Watching alone is more immersive, though. I can pause when I like and really take it all in without distractions.
