Netflix's player has been awful for years now. It's soooo heavily modified web UX that it just takes me back to the days of websites being built entirely in flash.
I wish we just had a normal player and a normal website and not this disgustingly over-engineered ad-delivery experience. But I don't expect this to change every. Netflix will do everything they can to control their content.
- Sebb767 5y agoCounter point: I really like the way Netflix is built. It's great for discovery and the series I'm watching are right at the top if I simply want to jump back in. Sure, they could really do away with the autoplay and add some minor tweaks, but overall I'm happy. In fact, I even went for a native app instead of Kodi for my TV, just to get the original UI.
- Zekio 5y agoGreat for discovery? everyone I know use external sites to know what content was just added on Netflix, because having a `Recently added` that isn't a week behind is too hard
- Sebb767 5y agoThat's not something I really care about, to be honest. I don't have too much view time, to be fair, so it might be this, but I don't need to know about what was just released this moment; what I want is to find something I want to watch right now. And at least for me, Netflix works quite well in supplying that.
- f1refly 5y agothis is mostly not about what's just been released this moment, but what's been licensed at the moment. i think the catalogue is rotating frequently and you cannot count on the movie you want to watch being there in a week, but it might reappear anytime again after the license was dropped. i dont give streaming platforms my money, but my brother complains about it a lot.
