One thing I can't stand about Netflix is that every category labeled "trending, popular, critically acclaimed ", are all Netflix originals.

But stop telling me that the top 25 spots of "most popular movies and shows" are made by Netflix, in every category

[@Ella-gg5fi]

sometimes I can't help thinking the top 10 ranking on Netflix is completely faked. like sure some of them are probably popular but some of the shows and movies that pop up I just can't imagine being successful. I assume it runs more like the KZbin trending page - just chosen by a couple of execs with no actual rhyme or reason.

[@thesoupin8or673]

My favorite part of streaming services is the part where intellectual property exists, so instead of content being available on all the places and they compete for who can show it all for the cheapest price, they get to have mini-monopolies and make you pay for multiple services. Streaming was good when Netflix was the only one BECAUSE they were the only one. They've done a good job pivoting to making originals, and monopoly control isn't the answer, but now we get all the inconvenience of competing monopolies and none of the advantages the one-stop shop that was Netflix used to provide

[@kate5918]

Something that is annoying about Disney+ is that when you’re done with a show or movie, it won’t get out of your “continue watching” spot unless you finish watching the credits to the very end. Netflix knows that you’re not going to watch the credits

What worries me is we're going to have another "cable" issue, where so many services get split all over the place. and then eventually a service will come along that combines them and all of a sudden, now it's the new "cable" where you pay for tons of shows, with tons of ads, for a "bundle" package just like how cable has been.

[@DubstepDrag0n]

@L. Ron Hoyabembe yeah but that's what I'm getting at. Like Eddy said with Netflix having too many options, you may want to go to another streaming service that could have what you want, but then if you have shows mixed around on different platforms you have to pay for the inconvenience of more than one service as you switch around if you want the shows from them. So I'm just projecting and assuming that eventually, you'll get to the point where's theres bundled services that cost alot to have the shows you want wrapped in with a bunch of stuff you don't want. So basically similar to what you literally just described about cable.

@L.

I'm pretty sure the "% match" on netflix was added when they started losing all of the big name movies and series license and started filling up your recommendation with lots of garbage.

[@OnionKnightRises]

[@Hegataro]

The worst part of streaming services, undoubtadly: content monopoly The different streaming services we have now almost never overlap in content, aka you have to go to a specific one to get said content (like, The Office or whatever), AKA, the services don't actually have to improve, since no competing streaming service exists that provides that content, and you can only go to them Which is why more people have gone back to pirating

[@Flameclaw123]

That and there are SO many different streaming services now, if you wanted to pay for access to all of them you'd be spending practically as much as cable. When the options were Netflix and Hulu, which were like $20 a month total, everyone had them because it was so cheap, and chances were the show you wanted to watch was on one or the other. It was more convenient than pirating so people just paid. Now it's so expensive to pay for a dozen different streaming services, even if you just want to watch one or two shows at a time, it's worth the effort to pirate just to avoid spending the money. Ironically, 'content monopoly' and 'too many options' not only coexist as issues with streaming services, they work together to have an worse effect when combined

My ex wanted to watch a show she grew up with, also on Amazon, but you had to get *a separate subscription inside Amazon Video* with some bumfuck nothing company to watch it. I wanted to watch the film "Downfall" a while back but it was "unavailable in your country" every single place I looked.

For example, I no longer want to see Young Sheldon in searches or recommendations, so I "hide" it. - A setting to turn off "Are you still watching?" It's good for people who leave the room or fall asleep, but I really do watch 10 hours of content in one sitting sometimes and I don't want Netflix to judge me anymore lmao. - A setting to turn off autoplay for a different show or movie.

I feel like something missing from this list is an “international” option.

Same for all other countries and shows from other regions. Netflix is sort of stale for me now but hearing what is in other regions would definitely have me pick it up a bit more.

The other day I wanted to watch all of the Halloween episodes of Bob's Burgers and it was so tedious to have to go through each individual season and find the one episode I wanted to watch every time I finished the one I was watching, and it would've been so nice to just put a list together and let it play.
