For me the biggest issue is not the contents but the Netflix player behavior. You press a Stop button to take a better look at some nice girl’s uhm… face and the frame is covered up for some seconds with “Netflix” and movie title. It can be ok if you pressed Stop to brew some more tea - but when you hit Play the same titles block not just a still frame, but some seconds of a movie! It’s so annoying it’s bordering on deliberate cruelty.
- stinos 4y agoWorst offenders in the UI for me are the autoplay (why can I not browse in silence ?) and the amount of steps needed to get rid of something so it doesn't turn up in 'continue watching' anymore. But yes frame-by-frame would be neat to have, though realistically: none of the major video platforms really have that right?
- rocketbop 4y agoYou can thankfully turn off Autoplay. I agree, it's horrendous UI.

- somat 4y agoYoutube does, at least the desktop web player does. "," and "." to go frame by frame Another one I use all the time is "J" and "L" to seek by 10 seconds.
