And stop getting my fucking hopes up when I search for a movie and the titles autofills only to show me you don’t have it.

It's because they dont actually have a large catalog anymore and they hide that fact with their terrible UI instead of just showing a list.

They also cancel just about all their good series while keeping the shit ones. :')

Inside Job getting cancelled still hurts

Image containing a row of logos that enable users to manage a personal archive of Media using Open Source tools including Qbittorrent, Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett, Jellyfin and OpenVPN/Wireguard

This does a better job, and if I wanted I could add some addons to Sonarr or Jellyfin for new media exploration. I personally use unraid, but all this can be done on a Ubuntu or Arch Linux install with some more expertise and patience.

this just made me go install the Theme Engine plugin, had no idea dark theme on unRAID GUI existed

Running somewhat similar to you. Jellyseerr is extremely worth it, even has a row where you can select Netflix, Apple TV+, and so on and browse what those services have. Makes a great music player too with FinAmp and lidarr!

I believe the movies/shows use every tag available to be shown in more categories. Even if it's not really related to the tag.

I want companies to start enforcing correct tagging as it's seeping into other media as well.

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Bruh, Netflix does the indexing for its library. This isn’t Steam.

[-] Switorik@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I imagined each show states what they want their tags to be and Netflix just hosts them. I'm not entirely sure how it works but it's annoying none the less.

[-] Prater@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

There is another way. One with much more content...

Also, trailers with English subtitles but not within the episodes.

[-] UnknownQuantity@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Am I wrong or did they not used to recommend movies you've already watched 8 or so years ago?

[-] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Oh that's nothing. Hulu recommends shows I watched last month.

[-] Ascend910@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Try a cool programme called popcorn-time :)

[-] Arethusa@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Netflix decided they didn't care about subscriber preferences and would rather push what they want the subscriber to watch instead. Perhaps it was the moment they removed the star rating system and replaced it with thumbs up and down. The double thumbs up addition made the removal of the star rating system look utterly ridiculous. When "More Like This" recommends the same shows/movies no matter what you just watched, it becomes obvious Netflix just wants to funnel subscribers to raise viewership in certain categories or for certain programs. They don't care what subscribers want and this is just one example of that.

Looking at you too, Xbox
