Yes.

> While it is still early days, we have already seen the benefits of the new platform, specifically the ease of feature delivery.



What features though? Oh maybe a sleep timer for the kids section so it turns off after 1 or 2 episodes? No, that would be actually useful but wouldn’t warrant a blog post.


Ways to make it better:

1) Implement Apple TV menu integration, like several other services do.

2) Bring back manual rating. My suggestions were way better then.

3) Like literally every other service that has parental controls: I wish you’d just give me a goddamn allow-list. That would be more useful than almost all other effort that goes into this stuff, and relatively easy. But almost nobody does it. It’s very frustrating.

Ways to save a lot of bandwidth:

1) Stop being the only major service that auto-plays video with audio behind the menu when folks are just trying to browse, or are just idling on the menu and talking, and in either case actively do not want that (I know there’s a setting now, finally, that sometimes kinda works for a while—how about flipping that default around?)


They have it in the article itself: it's why they were able to roll out a totally new plan tier quickly.
