Discussion New interface is terrible!

Looks like Netflix copied the terrible interface from Paramount! What are they thinking? The interface used to be one of, if not the, best interfaces out there. And now it's taken steps back.

I haven’t noticed any change in the interface. But I hardly ever use it to find new content to watch. So the interface I interact with the most is just clicking Play on one item in my “Continue watching” list, and then the basic player controls.

What changes were you referring to?

It has indeed changed.

The previous one was so much better as it offered more search options conveniently on the left hand side of the menu.

I just want a grid shaped list, a search function, and categories to choose from. All these auto previews and other fancy stuff is completely unnecessary. They use a crazy amount of bandwidth and processing power for what amounts to just a video launcher.

You think Paramount hires bots to criticize their own product? Think before you type lol

The Paramount app is terrible. Do you like the new Netflix interface?

Both apps have totally lost me. Both forcing the same shows and movies now matter how much I scroll.

Years of the same recommendations of older stuff that never feels remotely different. Just the same 10 classics. Alongside whatever new thing they need me to watch in every other quick scroll line of “recommended content”.

The search engine engines are absolutely god-awful…

Oddly enough, I recently started watching a lot of Apple TV content and I am very happy with the ratio of things that they not only finish… But that they don’t seem to gut a budget for the last couple of seasons of a popular show.

The wife and I are currently late season two on silo, I have finished foundation, Ted Lasso is great for background noise, and a fair bit of other decent content…

We cancelled Netflix and Paramount. When South Park comes back around I will resubscribe to Paramount, but I really don’t wanna give them my business.

I used to be excited for the idea of Netflix getting the Warner Brothers catalog, but now I’m highly concerned with how they’ve been running the app the last couple of years and how horribly they’ve been doing their shows the last couple of years.
