I have some suspicions that it was done that way on purpose.

Slightly unrelated, but all these media streaming apps and services like Netflix/Prime Video/Youtube etc. are so horrible by automatically playing whatever the fuck I am currently focused on, although I am just scrolling to somewhere to find my content. There is no way for users to focus "out" of the thumbnails, other than focusing on a different thumbnail, and it keeps playing the nonsense. All I would do is go back…
> Slightly unrelated, but all these media streaming apps and services like Netflix/Prime Video/Youtube e Slightly related, but does anyone know how come Netflix's search algorithm (for lack of a better word) and its general search-related UI is so bad? A specific use-case that I had a few days ago was that I wanted to watch a nice comedy movie, preferably not from the last few years. There was no easy filter on time…
It would sad if your employer did layoffs and your lazy ass was top oned because your idea of impact was stuff like this

I want foo. - Type 'f' - foo appears in the search. - Type 'o', because I type with 10 appendages and getting them to work together requires pipelining. - foo disappears from the search This should never happen.
Concrete example from my firefox url bar - type 'for' - forums.overclockers.co.uk appears, this is where I'm going, I go here once on most days type 'forums', because my fingers didn't get the memo to stop - forums.samygo.tv appears at the top, a site I haven't visited (on purpose) in almost a decade, mostly because I don't have that tv any more. Massively annoying.
This joke UI for the Hawaii nuclear missile alert system is my favourite depiction of this. https://gfycat.com/queasygrandiriomotecat

On the other side it is rational if you think about it in abstract where there is no latency between screen and keyboard input. The likely reason you continued typing is that the prompt didn't include what you wanted.
But I think all those other viewpoints lead to less desirable behaviour, for me. I'm not going to pretend it's universal because I don't have the research, but it pisses me off.
This is particularly visible on mobiles where I need to be really careful where I click and usually wait for the whole page to load, or have a muscle memory on where to click what (for pages I visit often)
