And tragically most users prefer the auto playing previews. Theprimeagean has a YouTube video about how he tried to a/b test it before release thinking "no way that's what users would prefer" and was unfortunately wrong.
- HeyLaughingBoy 1y agoWell, there is a setting to turn it off.
- zerd 1y agoMy problem with turning it of is that if you _do_ want to watch the preview it's very cumbersome. Clicking on it goes to the movie/episode. So to get to the preview you have to go to the list of Episodes, scroll down (and try not to get spoiled) to trailers then play it. So I have one profile with it on and one with it off, depending on if I'm browsing or not.
- nottorp 1y agoWho's that and do they work for Netflix? Tbh I don't mind the previews as long as they don't make the UI lag*. I was just pointing out that they don't save bandwidth. * I'm also aware that they're blatant lies and have little connection with what's in the actual movie.
- tonightstoast 1y ago100%. Wasn’t trying to contradict your statement - just giving some additional context. And he is a semi popular tech YouTuber that has risen to popularity in the last couple of years. I think he also streams on twitch but I’m not on that site so I can’t say. But he worked for Netflix for about 10 years.
