It's even worse when you bring incorrect material to the table. - Most apps / platforms / and others listed through this thread do not support disabling the UI preview while browsing through. - You're missing the point, the compliant is the auto play in the UI I'm not touching this any further.

After a couple of cancellations of shows I was liking, I'm not generally that enthused about starting a new show. Especially given the trend of not resolving anything at the end of the first season, where you get no payoff at all. I don't mind cliffhangers, but resolve the season's main problem first! (ref: The Expanse)
The Expanse has 3 seasons, a 4th coming. Not sure if Netflix has the rights to air those, though.
As someone who recently cancelled my Netflix subscription after idly flipping through it and realising nothing here holds my interest anymore, I feel like many of the reasons people pirated TV/Film content in the past (and Netflix helped to reduce by many-fold) have now returned with a vengeance. I'm on Australian Netflix, and the selection of titles has steadily diminished from an already reduced catalogue to the sa…
Same here. I find that I've turned to Youtube to satisfy any content cravings. It's not perfect, suggestions sometimes never have anything to do with what I've been watching the past 12 hours, Youtube's algorithms have a clear bias against certain content and sometimes I can't bother to wade through pages and pages of slosh to find what I know fits my tastes, but at this point I have a good idea of the search terms t…

Unless the Roku app changed, it can't be disabled either. Every time I open Netflix it feels like a battle with the autoplay "feature" and I just close it off. I think I might cancel it in favor of Prime.
Depends on the Roku app. I have a roku and it never autoplays for Netflix but does autoplay for prime.

I find it annoying how content is so easily discoverable in YouTube but with Netflix, it's almost like the site is actively trying to stop you from discovering new content in there. For example, I share a Netflix account with a relative who has somewhat different tastes from me and I find shows/movies on her account's front page I find interesting that I would never have found on my account except if I search for tha…
I would pay $15/mo for ONE service that has a ton of old content.
Also nothing is more irritating than a show with only a few seasons. Don't even bother, Netflix.

1. Kids, one in particular loves a number of shows on Netflix and is happy to re-watch them. They do plenty of other non-screen activities, so Netflix remains a decent 'downtime' option
2. Kids. I just don't have the kind of time to watch movies and TV shows the way I used to. I just finished the two seasons of Psycho-Pass, which took me a couple of months to get through. And that's still with most episodes requiring multi-mid-episode pauses for reasons of 'parenting' (be it parental intervention or prevention of kids viewing disturbing scenes).
As a result, I churn through less content, slower, and therefore Netflix probably has a greater use to me longer term. My budget refuses to stretch to multi-streaming-platform subscriptions, mostly actually due to ideological reasons.
(I'm paying for the top Netflix option with a view to convincing a couple of relatives to get off their expensive Foxtel subs - with minor success).

- look through the first category, feel disappointed
- look through other categories, see the same films in multiple categories
- waste 20 minutes before either turning off or in refusing to totally dump the sunk cost, choose a film you don't really want
It's like the inverted set of the Criterion Collection.
