So now instead of "we have an algorithm to suggest what you might like" it's turning into "you'll watch what we tell you and like it, and good luck trying to find anything else"
This also smells like "we're shrinking our catalog and dont want you to notice it, so algorithm!"
And then they'll cancel anything they didn't spam the front page with and blame it on low viewership
"Our users, who don't have as much free time as they did during the pandemic, didn't binge watch a 13 episode show, one hour per episode, the very day it came out like they did during lockdown? Cancel the show its a flop"
