> It’s like when Netflix asks if you’re still watching when you’ve fallen asleep on the couch—except this policy actually saves you money. I assumed this was because they pay for some content on a per-view basis, so they don't want to pay if you're not actually there/awake. That said, I have found the autoplay-next-episode behavior to be strangely inconsistent, even for the same show. Some nights it automatically plays 4 in a row if we do nothing, and other nights it stops after each one. I've tried to figure out if it's based on time (sometimes we watch pretty late), but there seems to be no correlation.
