I just discovered this on my television. It played an episode of Umbrella Academy and then underneath it says “because you watched Spider-Man.”

So it’s like Google’s “I’m feeling lucky” meets Amazon’s “because you bought” thing. https://t.co/3ljdhXS5rV
Cool. That's how I learned about ancient alien energy, extreme political radicalization via GMO tuber vegetable ingestion, and an industrial lubricant conspiracy theory involving TV sitcom sub carrier audio encoding... by leaving autoplay enabled for a @peppapig video on @YouTube https://t.co/DHighOlbmM

This is a good solution to the “scroll endlessly” problem. https://t.co/g1ev5y56tY

Netflix testa um botão de "shuffle", para dar play em conteúdo aleatório quando você não quer escolher alguma coisa.

What!?!? ... why do tech companies insist on building system that encourages low-intent randomness instead of focusing it on building something people will actively seek out and choose to watch? https://t.co/iYkuwrZKbk pic.twitter.com/r2Rv97CnSO

#Netflix is testing a new shuffle button for when we’re all too lazy to choose what to watch https://t.co/kGfONDDJ4W pic.twitter.com/SHppZX9YPw

This is an interesting solution to the 'too much choice' problem. Netflix's library is so extensive, you inevitably spend more time flicking through the choices instead of actually watching something.

Is this feature going to be a good idea? https://t.co/z2sm74THQp
Woah.. imagine some of the undiscovered gems we would find collectively! https://t.co/6ab7ZVf3z5

Netlfix is taking insipration from the Twitter feed. It should go the full monty - randomly play scenes from different movies. Restart a movie when you are about to watch the climax. And while at it, given you some patronizing feedback on your choices as well!? https://t.co/oKO1sJn4Yh

I would like this if you could limit it to one show, like Friends, which I have watched multiple times.

But if I have never seen a show, why would I want to watch a random episode out of order? https://t.co/HlEiFgYoG4
Imagine having such a lack of discernment that you would watch whatever dreck @Netflix randomly plays for you.https://t.co/Vg6RriOjbu

MRW @netflix is adding a "shuffle play" option, but shuffles different shows to play, instead of shuffles episodes of a show. https://t.co/L6PFrUKinM pic.twitter.com/w9aFwfCYI5
