Some TV is already like this. I recall critics of Teletubbies complaining about the repeated statements and actions (Tinky-Winky says "Again! Again!"). Then I spent time in Asia and all their popular entertainment (eg Running Man) continually repeats the last 10 seconds of each action. It's crazy making to me, but it evidently is what the viewers like.
- danpalmer 9mo agoThe teletubbies is a bad example here, it's designed for babies where repetition is good for learning and development. Some Asian content can be like this, sure, but I suspect that's stylistic rather than for the reasons Netflix are doing it.

- ndarray 9mo agoThe "user" is only half of a human anyway, 50% is the max consciousness people spend on whatever Netflix they have running as background noise. That's the target audience Netflix is optimizing for: half-humans. Saves them lots of bandwidth, expenses for quality, and yes, it needs a solid amount of exposition[0] to work.
