Hey everyone,

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and wanted to get your take.

I often find myself in two situations:

  1. I search for a movie or show and end up Googling or opening 2–3 apps just to figure out where it’s streaming in my country (Canada).
  2. I forget where I left off in a show, especially if I switch devices, clear history, or take a break for a few weeks. Some platforms like Netflix and Disney+ track it, but not always reliably, especially across profiles or countries.

So I’m curious:

  • How do you figure out where to watch something?
  • Do you track your watch progress? Or just rely on memory?
  • Have you ever lost track after switching profiles/devices/platforms?

Appreciate any input. 🙏 I’m trying to understand if others deal with this too or if I’m just bad at keeping track 😅

Thanks!
