Streaming services and their user interfaces are such hot garbage. How were they able to make them so bad? I feel like, a room full of monkeys on typewriters could do a better job.
They remove searches and categories, then charge you an extra $15 for the privilege.
Fucking everything everywhere is hot garbage. Why do foil seals never have little pull tabs anymore? Why do I have to try and grip a half millimeter of material to pull them off every single time no matter how sticky, or dangerous it is? Why can’t I ever tear a paper towel off cleanly? Why did I spend 20 minutes trying to add a profile to Apple Plus, and Google have to tell me it requires a second account? Why couldn’t that just be written there? Why can no one anywhere just use words anymore? Why did brand new ice trays shatter after one use? Why have I seen frozen meals with plastic film say to put them in the oven? Wouldn’t it be smarter to not try killing your customers?
It’s like business schools tell you to make your product as terrible as humanly possible these days.
On the ice tray specifically, I noticed stuff that wasn’t ice in my ice, like white stuff that didn’t melt with the ice and would float on the top and make a film in drinks. It was particularly bad with these spherical ice molds that surrounded the ice entirely, other than a hole to add the water through. I’d also notice ice would have this flavour that I previously thought was just freezer burn but now suspect it comes from frozen veggies stored in those plastic packages.
I got a metal ice cube tray and my ice is just ice now. Melts clear, tastes like really cold water.
Anyways, at this point I’m trying to minimize the amount of contact between plastic and food I eat but packaging is proving difficult. Not just difficult, but I don’t know how to avoid it completely.

McKinley or Deloitte probably advise Netflix to make search worse so it takes longer to find what you want so you spend more time in their dumb app.
That results in less time in their app, not more.
For people like us, it’s 0 time in their app and an unsubscribe but for a lot of people it doesn’t make a difference. ಠ_ಠ

They make search horrible so you might stumble onto something you weren’t searching for.
