It’s kind of interesting you say this. When I go on my Netflix account, I see the same 20-30 things. Gets old and I can never find anything I want to watch. When I’m at my friends and open her Netflix, it’s like a completely different service. I see a ton of things that look interesting that I’ve never seen on my own account. It’s quite strange.
I cancelled all my streaming subscriptions when they all started pulling price shenanigans.
Now I either use Stremio, properly "Arrified", or sail the high seas with qbitorrent, which, by the way, has a very good search function not enabled by default, and which many people don't know about. (Google qbitorrent search jackett)
To look for things I usually go to rotten tomatoes.
Also, there are frequent posts here or on other sites where people post their favorite shows/movies, which are often great for discovering less known shows.
Their new UI made it godawful to find anything. It's got to be one of the worst UI updates I've ever seen in a modern service.
You can only see 4 things at once on my large screen TV. Then if you have the audacity to scroll down to see more, you're almost always greeted with one of the same ones in that group of 4. Then they throw games in there to just fuck up your attempt to find anything, and then because you watched one thing 10 years ago, it decides to still show you this category of show you don't like "because you watched xyz show".
I hate it so much.
