fuck netflix and their fucking clickbait sex thumbnails

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨jeanma@lemmy.ninja⁩ to ⁨mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world⁩

Why do they feel the need to show suggestive sex positions? french kisses every thumbnails lines ???

I was looking for some Miyasaki films (eg: Porco rosso, Chihiro) for my kids and those are not available in the “family/kids” curated profile.

So, I had to create a new profile, I open the search view and the first FUCKING thumbnail is a couple having sex, suggestive but still! And it continues each time I iterate my research.

Between the nihilistic, the lowbrow sex or serial killer shit , there’s nothing really. Increasing price, removing shared account is not a cure to a sucky catalog!

Fuck you Netflix

ventilating…

They can’t hear you unless you cancel the service

  This! I cancelled Netflix the same day they raised their prices and never looked back. Was it inconvenient? Sure! But I found a way to cope. Society needs to relearn how to speak with their wallets instead of their mouths. Complaints go unheard otherwise.

    Your dollar isn't as important as you think.
    Advocate for owning the media you consume as well.
    I bought a NAS and am in the process of ripping all the physical media I already own for my Jellyfin server.
    
    look at me, I am the streaming platform now.

    Every dollar we spend is a ballot. This ballot casts a vote on the type of world we’d like to live in.

    I cancelled over the password sharing nonsense and also their shitty stance on the writer’s strike.
    
    I haven’t missed Netflix, even a little bit.

Netflix drove many people to leave piracy, and now they’re driving them right back to it again.

Way to go guys.

That stuff is mostly an issue in the rather puritan US. People don’t really think like that elsewhere.

I assume they are not making specific “clean” or censored version just for the US.

Imagine being Ace in this world! I seriously can't - sex is fucking EVERYWHERE thanks to marketing.

  I feel like if you're ace you won't be aroused so it's even less of a problem, no?

    They could be sex-repulsed, which I imagine would make them disgusted maybe? I don't know I'm not asexual

  considering it’s something the vast majority of people have strong reactions for it’s kind of to be expected. for most people it’s as basic as craving food. even if it wasn’t in marketing it’d still be everywhere in art (songs, movies, etc)

  Are you simply disinterested in sex or disgusted by it. If the former seems like it would be easy to ignore what you see. If the later that seems like something other than your sexuality is at play.

    You can be disgusted by the surplus of something you don’t care about.
    
    Like I’m disgusted with sports. Not on Lemmy, I don’t really see it here unless I’m on All. But in daily life, it’s everywhere. I can’t fucking stand it. I don’t wanna see it hear about sports leagues or conferences, or athletes.
    
    I like to see a little bit of Olympics, but that’s it. And only then because it’s the top people doing their thing, potentially seeing records for it. As for professional stuff, it needs to just die off, honestly. Meatheads shouldn’t get college degrees paid for just cuz they “throw ball good”.
    
    Fucking disgusting. And I’m tired of pretending it isn’t.

Hulu does this shit too. I swear every other day it’s some new horror show or naked people as the main banner when we log in. I don’t want to look at any of that! Jesus christ, I should be able to log into our live TV app without having to tell my kids to turn away. We’re not prudes, I’m not offended by nudity, but my kids are in early grade school. They are easily frightened and they’re not old enough yet for me to be having “the talk” with them because Hulu can’t be bothered to keep their banners PG.

Large parts of the Netflix Team are the bad kind of woke, meaning they want to expose children to sexual content of all sorts

The only thing they will hear is if you cancel your subscription.

  Thats not what woke means at all. People who want to introduce kids to sexual content are pedophiles. Thats the word for them. But OP created a new profile, and it sounds like he did not select the childrens filtering. There are protections in place, but they don’t work if you don’t use them.

    It is part of the whole woke thing. And even without the filters there shouldn't be only sex as the thumbnails

They’re playing on the latent puritanism in US culture. The only reason it’s done is because it pushes peoples buttons and draws interest. The other options are what you see over seas, where either free speech is harshly curtailed, or people get over it, and advertisers stop because it doesn’t cause concerned citizens to lose their shit any more.

I feel like you’d run into similar stuff anywhere you go. That’s why there are kids profiles. I imagine Netflix at least does a better job routing out suggestive content than YouTube does.

  I forgot to precise that Porco Rosso, Chihiro and other Miyazaki are actually available in the non family/kids profile, hence my little breakdown

  Might be because of my area or watch history but never had that problem with Amazon prime. I'm definitely not a fan boy for them since they have maby flaws but at least not some sex scene thumbnails

In the US, at least, if you’re looking for Myasaki films, they’re going to be on Max and not Netflix.

I read a post from Netflix tech blog explaining the selection of a thumbnail. A video has many thumbnails and Netflix picks one for you depending on the shows you watch and your country. From the new profile watch movies / series that are unrelated with romance and the thumbnails should hopefully change.
