This is 100% why I haven't signed up yet. It's like walking into a blockbuster video and being told, "you can pick one movie from this store, but everyone will know which movie you pick, and the director of that movie will be able to control what other movies you get to see."
The analysis paralysis this induces is incredible.

- lrvick 4y agoIt is more like you previously could -only- obtain movies from Blockbuster and you loved that they recommended sponsored movies whenever you visited. You did not have to think. Now Blockbuster is gone and there are a pile of other ways to obtain movies out there and you are complaining that choosing one is hard. It is entertainment and they all have access to the same movies so it is not that important of a choice.
