When we had Netflix I would get extremely frustrated every time I tried to interact with it. Most descriptions are like "Benedict Cumberbatch is a grumpy detective in this British crime drama" - so the only information not contained in the cast list and genre are one character trait and the country where it was made? How the fuck is that supposed to help?
You will suckle at the algorithm's teat or you will have NOTHING! and you will THANK US for the privilege!
Its worse because they don't even try to do trailers anymore either. Its just the most boring 3 minute clip from the movie or show.
Right from the early days, that always made Amazon Prime Video feel so cheap compared to Netflix. I'm so confused on why they bother. You said it perfectly, it's always a boring scene of the movie, with no real context of the story or even mood. It's never appealing.
Now Netflix does it, too. Well, I say now but it's obviously been going on for years at this point, as is the general decline in quality and value of Netflix.
