Ok. Maybe GP should have said UI instead of UX, but still, the spacebar to pause is a bigger deal for me that everything you mention.
It's like not having the light in your fridge go on when you open the door. It's not important for the actual purpose of the thing but it is something one has come to expect.
- mlthoughts2018 8y agoI literally don't know anyone who watches Netflix on a device with a space bar. I mean, I get it. For you that is important. I couldn't care less, and would never watch any of these things on a laptop. I usually watch them via devices that are connected to a regular TV. Otherwise, very occasionally on a tablet or phone.
- marssaxman 8y agoI've had a Netflix account since the shiny-disc era and I've never watched it on anything but a device with a space bar... a laptop is the device I connect to a regular TV.

- mlthoughts2018 8y agoWasn't disputing that such people exist, which is why I said I understood it was important in my comment. The point was that someone replied originally by saying the need for space bar to pause a video trumped everything else, and my goal was to emphasize how there might be _utterly gigantic_ subpopulations of streaming service customers for whom such a feature would literally never be relevant. So that perhaps it's not a useful feature by which to judge the overall quality of different providers, even if you happen to be one of the rare people who really relies on it.
