That’s funny - I Like the auto preview, in fact I would like them to go further and advertise their content to me, as live TV does. When I watch Netflix at the end of a hard day I’m in lazy consumer mode, I want content to be suggested to me. I hate wading through static dull pictures which give me very few clues as to the content they represent. Netflix are unstoppable - they offer incredible value compared to extortionate SKY, i cancelled their £120 per month package 6 months ago and I have never regretted it.
I'm listening to music or half-watching twitch whilst scrolling through Netflix to decide what I'll watch with supper. It's incredibly frustrating to have them autoplay video content, to the extent that I've started going back to browsing torrent sites instead.
It doesn't help that their website is a laggy piece of shit with miserable discover-ability. But, you know. Ugh.
Surely the video is muted by default, why is that a problem?
It is not muted by default. Nor is there any way to mute short of muting your TV.
The website doesn't autoplay, but per Ntrails, it's "a laggy piece of shit with miserable discover-ability". I don't actually use the website so don't have an opinion there.
I also like auto preview. But I would never want them to start advertising their shows to me (like Amazon Prime does), that's going too far.
