I, as well. Likewise their introduction and increase of the rotation of the image tiles applied to each title, in their listings.
Most recently, there is the response to their removal of user reviews. That I regret; I've found them useful, and even a bit more so with the removal of the "star" ratings for this overly simplistic and opaque thumbs up/down mechanism.
But what I haven't seen mentioned, but am now noticing, is that at some point they removed the year of release from at least their hover/pop-up descriptions. At the moment, and not in the right place to check, I'm not sure whether they are gone from their more details listings -- whose UI to access is an unwieldy pain in the ass, itself.
They just want you to see an interesting looking tile, that you haven't seen before, and click on it.
Never mind that the content behind it is most likely the same "minimally acceptable" c-list, maybe b-list, content they've been increasingly shoveling up for these past some years. Except for some of their headliner "original content". And, a lot of their original content listings are becoming similar stuff they slap their brand on, often acquired -- likely on the cheap -- from non-U.S. productions. (There's nothing wrong with non-U.S. productions, but there's a lot of inexpensive, second-if-that tier stuff in the rest of the world. And the good stuff is increasingly captured by other outlets maximizing returns and control over what Netflix will pay and offer.)
At least, that's the way I've come to interpret what I'm experiencing with them.
