Nagging everywhere

[gigatoaster]

Hello there

Am I the only one tired by how the interface is pushing you to watch more and more shows?

It’s start with a trailer that you can skip, fair enough. But then at the end it’s got a screen during the credits and if you don’t go back to the credits, a new show is starting.

Is there a way to prevent it?

I called Apple and there is nothing we can do.

Yes, you just click the back button as the program ends and go back to the main screen. But agreed it's mildly annoying.

 

[gigatoaster]

You’re right, it’s kind of a first word problem. I wish we could have more control.

You DO know that you just described LITERALLY every streaming service, right? And in my opinion Apple TV is much less invasive and pushy than others. Like Netflix that just plays stuff unless you turn it off in settings. Or Hulu that bombards you and has the commercial volume at ~150% of content.

Not saying it isn't annoying, but as I'm watching Foundation I feel like it is nice and easy to just click on skip.

In terms of ease of use, of streaming services I have or have had in recent history, I'd probably give the highest marks to Disney+, then Apple+, Netflix, Paramount+ and Amazon Prime gets the lowest marks.

Sorry, I usually download my shows on torrent websites. I got a trial of Apple TV+ a few days ago and also when it launched. If I recall at the beginning it was not implemented. But I understand they need to keep the viewer on as much as possible on the platform.

Personally since I believe artists deserve to be paid for their work, I don't STEAL content. Anyone who can afford to pay for things but chooses to steal from others is an inherently inferior human.Sad.

Paramount + is annoying offender with this too. I just hit the back button and go back in. Definitely not ideal, but it works for now.

Everyone with something to sell is an offender...

Apple TV+ is pathetic.

Apple TV+ is pathetic.

Um, OK. Whatever. Your opinion obviously ... the fact that it has had some of the best shows of the last few years says there is at least some decent content, but taste is subjective.

And I fully support people 'voting with their wallet' ... don't like it, don't subscribe. But just don't pirate like the a$$hat earlier in the thread, because that negates any validity of your opinions.
