The last two suggestions are interesting to me because it's exactly the opposite of what I think I need for my long-term well-being. Over the past few years it feels like watching too many clips and reading too many short articles has caused my attention span to drastically decrease, to the point where I rarely have the patience for a normal length movie. Breaking movies into episodes or forcing me to watch more different types of content without finishing any of them would make this even worse.
I think a better way to limit mindless engagement would be the ability to pre-set and lock in which content I'm going to watch for the day. So maybe I lock in that I want to watch a movie or 3 episodes of show X, and then Netflix shuts down for the day afterwards. Maybe it could even warn that episode 3 is the first part of a two-parter and suggest I stick to two episodes for the day.

This is the right approach (giving the user tools that increase their agency) and the equivalent of the Digital Wellbeing features in Android.
