They're focused on solely making content you can double screen, while watching, so all super slow repeating what's happening frequently, nothingness. Personally, I judge a show on whether I reach for my phone or not. If I reach, I know it's bad or at least mid. I won't double screen. I stop watching. So It's nice to be told there's nothing on Netflix for me.

Oof. That is the type I hate the most, second only to reality TV. When I watch something, I sit down to focus on it. It’s not something on another screen or in the background.

I gave up on them when they kept hiking the price and removing features.

It's literally why we have Netflix. It is constantly playing on the background as my wife works. I prefer music for work. Apple TV and Dropout for streaming entertainment.

Why pay for elevator music?

Do you think elevator music was free? Muzak was a successful company for many years, selling background.

How much did it cost those in the elevator?
