Movie posters were ubiquitous in homes, a favorite of teenagers, often the racier the better. I see your point, but I don't see a problem with Netflix content

Movie posters were ubiquitous in homes, a favorite of teenagers, often the racier the better.
I see your point, but I don't see a problem with Netflix content using sensationalism to drive clicks. In fact, it's probably one of the vanishingly few legitimate uses of that type of visual manipulation. They pull visually stimulating stills from the content itself, combined with text that gives you a quick indication of what's in store. I take issue with low effort or misleading titles, but it's a constrained medium in a commercial context. Not a lot of ways to vary the interface.
The article just seems like a silly take, to me.
