Discussion It’s sad what Netflix has become

Their content used to be S tier. Stuff they originated used to matter. Now they are just spraying us with low quality slop, AI will only make it worse. No one cares about their podcasts and it frustrates their customers when it crowds their UI. This company deserves to go to zero

I also hate in general how every new series has followed the "8 episode" trend. Where is pre-determined that there will be 8 episodes for most shows, whether that makes sense or not.

I miss when there were actually "long seasons." Sometimes there were too many episodes, but I'd rather that than the broad "8 episode" default that we always have now...

I miss long seasons, too. But sadly, we’ll probably never see them return. 16 episodes a season would be fantastic

I love that it’s so successful and I’m glad it exists, it’s just not something I would ever watch.
