streaming platforms make it hard to continue watching your shows, pushing new shows instead

wonder what motivates this, can't just be a mistake/stupidity

great point, this is likely the reasoning

Users will jump thru more hoops to continue watching a show whereas maybe they won’t for discovery 

Agree the new netflix UI is kinda confusing though

i assumed that much, but at the cost of making it hard to just continue watching shows? i'd assume "watching a whole show that i like" is a more important user journey to them than "i watched part of the hot new show everyone is watching". although, now that i write that down, i can see how it would be reversed, especially if someone binges a whole new show in a night
