Netflix, the day I see an ad while watching a movie or TV, I will unsubscribe.

64.0k Upvotes

I already pay over $200 a year and watch only a few shows here and there. If you jam ads down my throat for what little time each day I have to watch a movie or TV series, I'll just unsubscribe.

Edit: 4 years on, well here we are Netflix...04/2022

Why doesn't netflix have a decent way to browse content? I feel like i'm fairly stuck with the 50-100 titles shown to me on the homescreen, why can't I browse their thousands of titles that they do they have outside of a search bar? why do I have to know the shows name to find it?

Crap quality for the fight

22.5k Upvotes

Anyone else having this issue? I’m at 720 or worse. I have fiber and no one else is using my internet. I’m guessing the Netflix servers are overloaded.

Edit: now the app is gaslighting me. It’s saying I have no internet connection. I do. I have great connection.

Edit 2: now it shows me 15-20 seconds of the last round of the Taylor vs Serrano fight then tosses me out. It does this a few times then it starts me back at the beginning. I’m guessing the entire event is over at this point. I’m pissed. They have to do better. They have to make this right. I’m never watching a live stream on Netflix again.

Netflix new "auto-play" trailers are SO ANNOYING

14.5k Upvotes

Netflix just rolled out a new feature on apple tv.

now when you're browsing and stop on a title it autoplays a f-ing trailer, complete with audio! OR just plays random scenes from the movie with random music (maybe from the movie?)

dammit, there's a reason that "watch trailer" is an optional button on almost any other movie interface like amazon, or itunes, etc...

I don't want to watch these trailers every time I pause to look at something!

holy f---- it's annoying.

It's like going to the mall and every time you glance towards a store a salesman runs up to you and starts singing about it. Makes you want to leave the mall. fast.

CLARIFICATION: this is new in the main first window of Netflix with the trending section and movie icons you scroll through to pick. The blurb and picture is now a moving image with sound. This is different than how items auto play from the individual pages

EDIT: it you hate this feature too... Call customer service now!! Netflix support: 8665797172

It would be a shame if they felt the power of reddit's front page. ;)

EDIT 2: I'm hearing rumors they outsource their support so may not get all feeback. Here's their direct info: Corporate Phone: (408) 540-3700 Twitter: @netflix

9.9k Upvotes

Seriously, I was waiting for the science that was promised to happen, and got none of it. The show can get rather boring because they spend ten minutes every episode talking to a panel of experts. And the weird skits and songs? I mean come on it felt like I was watching a sixth grade science presentation.

EDIT: I am neither transphobic, or a climate change denier. I am just disappointed with the result of the production. It failed to live up to the quality of his previous shows.

Discussion Why is Netflix’s browsing so bad? I’m constantly shown the same handful of titles, even though they have thousands available. Why do I need to know a show’s name just to find it?

9.3k Upvotes

Why isn’t there a simple “browse all” option with filters for genre, year, rating, language, etc.? Sometimes I don’t know what I want to watch.
Is this intentional? Do they purposely limit what users see to reduce decision fatigue and push their own recommendations, or is there another reason they don’t offer a true catalog view? It seems like such a basic feature for a platform with one of the largest streaming libraries. I’d probably spend more time watching Netflix if I could actually browse everything instead of feeling boxed into the same handful of recommendations.

Discussion What "Unknown Number: The Highschool Catfish" totally downplayed... Spoiler

9.3k Upvotes

Why did Kendra go after Owen's new girlfriend, a full year after he and Lauryn broke up?

That isolated single detail proves this had absolutely nothing to do with protecting her daughter and everything to do with her own predatory obsession with Owen. Owen's mom tried to point it out, but they barely gave her a voice.

It feels like the real story was "Predatory Mom Coach" but decided "Highschool Catfish Story" was way more marketable. It's like they are deliberately downplaying the darkest part of this story and perpetuating Kendra's misdirection/manipulation.

Hey there, I'm Bill Burr, and I have a new season of F Is For Family coming to Netflix, AMA!

8.9k Upvotes

Edit: I have to go my wife is incredibly pregnant and texting me from the other room. But thank you for all the questions. That was fun!

Hey there! I'm comedian Bill Burr. The first three seasons of my show 'F is for Family' are on Netflix right now, and Season 4 is out on June 12. I play Frank Murphy, a father and a husband of a lower middle class family living in the 1970s. While every season comedically explores family dysfunction, parenthood, the ups and downs of marriage and even nosy neighbors, Season 4 sees Frank's father come back into his life, as well as the impending birth of he and his wife's (Sue Murphy) new baby!

Watch the Season 4 trailer HERE!

You can also watch my Netflix stand-up comedy specials: Bill Burr: Paper Tiger, Bill Burr: Walk Your Way Out, Bill Burr: I'm Sorry You Feel That Way, Bill Burr: Let It Go and Bill Burr: You People Are All the Same.

And follow me on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Check out my Monday Morning Podcast.

Disney/Marvel is pulling their library from Netflix in 2019, and DC just pulled theirs out this past August... Both with plans to start up their own streaming services... How many streaming services do these companies think we'll subscribe too?

8.8k Upvotes

With Young Justice getting a season 3 soon, I thought I'd rewatch the first two seasons... Well this past August, DC pulled their library of shows off Netflix with the intention of launching their own streaming service in 2018. And Disney just recently announced they will be doing the same, once their contract with Netflix ends in 2019.

I am also an avid anime watcher, and even though Netflix's anime library (including original shows) is growing, they still don't simucast current shows. Your other options are services like Crunchyroll or Funamination, or even Amazon's Anime Strike (not even going into the fact that you need prime on top of the 5.99 service). Then you add on any other services you have like Hulu or HBO Go... And well, it's getting ridiculous, how many streaming services do these companies think we'll subscribe too before people just start turning towards pirating their favorite shows. It's getting to the point where all these service fees are adding up to an amount which is just too much for the average consumer... And so you either pick and choose which service you'll subscribe too and then the rest you just pirate, or you just pirate everything and subscribe to nothing (which I've been seeing more and more of recently).

I understand that Disney and DC will probably make more money by having their own streaming services... If the demand is high enough. But what I'm fearful of is other production companies and networks following suit and starting up their own pay streaming services. I don't know what the solution is, but I definitely believe that we are going to be seeing more and more streaming services geared towards individual brands and companies.

How many streaming services do you all pay for, and how many more would it take until you just started pirating? Or many you're already fed up and have taken the back road to watching your shows... I already gave up going to the theaters about 2 years ago, as it's just way too expensive, and it's not that hard to just ignore everything relating to the shows you're interested in... Until they come out on some sort of on demand rental service, like Xbox live or such.. I want to be able to pay for the shows and services I'm interested in, to support the artist and writers and actors... But it's becoming harder and harder to do so, as each is separating into their own services...

I don't know if this was the right subreddit for this, but I didn't know where else to post it, so sorry if I was incorrect.

I've started creating separate profiles just to trick the algorithm into showing me different content. The fact that users have to hack the system to discover new movies on a platform that's literally designed for discovering movies is insane.

I’m traveling right now about a thousand miles from home. It’s late, I can’t sleep, tried to throw on a movie, and got notified that Netflix has decided that I’m trying to commit fraud by watching tv outside of my house. The account is linked to my wife’s email so I can’t get the temporary password. The fact that they treat us like we’re trying to steal from them after paying so much is just a bridge too far.
