I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Can immediately start watching the credits from the previous episode i watched, but if I want the latest, I have to scroll like six rows down, find the show, go to its landing page, then select the latest season (!), then scroll over to the latest episode.
And then if you start the last episode credits by accident, getting back to the show page that lists season/episodes needs even further technical skill. How can they be this bad at it?

It's like Hulu where you have to scroll down six times before you can continue the show you were watching the night before. Lame!

Netflix content has obviously gone way downhill but it is still the gold standard in intuitive, fast, reliable UI. It is apparently really, really hard to pull that off.

I think Disney Plus has the best UI/organization, but Netflix is good too.

Sounds about right.
She's looking for something lighter, I think the run of The Bear and The Act along with some other heavy docs took a toll. I have it on the list but it might be a tick.
