I’m really having a difficult time seeing a binge, nor do I see anything streaming and I still can’t see cozy.
These are all intangible objects that one simply cannot see. We might as well include Friday, Internet, alone, happy, sleepy, boredom, pizza-night...
Answers seem to be based on a subjective stream of consciousness that I’m still trying to figure out.
Sorry, way back when, this game used to be loads of fun. But now makes little sense.

I'm going to post my reply to the discussions thread, because it's more appropriate to have an open discussion here then answering in the contest thread.
@Canmus
The contest is named “What do you see in this picture”
The title implies you should be guessing what YOU see.
However, if you want to win WRZ$, you need to guess what the
contest manager/assistant sees in the picture.
Thus having a matching entry depends on how well you know the person, and how well you can guess what THEY see in the picture.
Despite the contest title including "YOU" in the title, it really should be "I".
Does that help it make more sense?The contest itself is a variant of "read my mind".
Contests with that theme require a bit of familiarity and personal acqiaintance with the person running the contest, otherwise you're just guessing blindly and hoping you think along the same lines as the contest manager/assistant.
As Anna said, you can guess non tangible things too - like emotions, feelings or even advertising slogans.
For example, I saw "Netflix" on the screen so I might reply "Chill", from the popular reply to how I spent my freetime:
"Netflix and Chill" . Chill as a temprature is also related to the blanket/throw in the photo.
Even with guessing only objects, you are still dependant on familiarity with the person.
For example, where you said "laptop" I would have said "MacBook".
I hope that explains a little better.
