Just click on something to avoid being attacked by the trailer. I had the same American vandal dream many times, mainly because it sits on top of my “continuous viewing” page. It’s gotten to the point that by the time I’ve hovered over eight or nine different titles, I give up in frustration and just watch on an old episode of New Girl or House. I don’t think it’s too much to ask that we are left to browse in peace without being annoyed with audio every few seconds. Netflix has increasingly made browsing its platform more challenging and annoying. It’s why I could spend half an hour browsing for a title and not feel like I’m wasting my life in the process. Browsing through Netflix used to be superior to the experience on Hulu, Amazon or HBO Go. Netflix’s user experience, however, is instrumental to its success. It’s almost as bad as being a verified Twitter user and abusing that power to call out food chains or airlines for not providing perfect customer service. Complaining about a streaming service for playing trailers is about the least cool thing someone can do.

We can read the descriptions and if we decide that it’s not something we want to dedicate two hours to, we just move on to the next thing. The decision to turn the already difficult process of trying to simply pick something to watch into something even more stressful is unacceptable. Google trackers are lurking on 75% of websites.
