For example, we sometimes watch a show/movie with subtitles. But netflix frequently gets confused about whether subtitles should be on or off and with which language they should be in, even with simply stopping viewing and coming back later. We sometimes use English subtitles, but then they get turned on automatically in various languages for other shows/movies.
I noticed this, they removed the categories browser for me, it still shows up occasionally but it's hidden very deep in recommendations I can't find a way to directly go to it other than pressing down for a few minutes till it crops up.
Guess it makes sense for them, I used to boot it up and go straight in there and devour everything new in categories I cared about while still ignoring everything I passed over previously.
These moves to try and remove the choice from what I watch in the hopes of getting me to watch things I wouldn't watch out of choice seems so bizarre when the initial pitch of Netflix vs cable/terrestrial was being in control of what you watch.
How much content are people expecting for $10?
For $10 a month at that time I gained access to basically every DVD ever released. There were a few art house type movies that were out of print that took forever to get copies of due to being in others' ques, but for the most part, I had access to all commercially released video for the past 100 years for $10. Adjusted for inflation, that's $12.45 today.
