After tonight, it’s even clearer that the Senate should take the SAVE America Act and continue debating it until it passes

A woman had Netflix for 6 years.

She opened the app. She scrolled. She picked something after 25 minutes. She fell asleep during episode 2. She repeated this every night.

Her friend, a former Netflix UI engineer, sat on her couch one evening and opened Settings on her account. He changed 9 things in under 15 minutes.

Her homepage transformed overnight. The autoplay trailers stopped. The "continue watching" list cleaned itself up. The recommendations got sharper. The buffering on her 4K TV disappeared. The categories multiplied from 30 to 2,200.

She said "it feels like a completely different app."

He said "it is. You've been using the factory settings for 6 years. Netflix ships the version that keeps you scrolling longest, not the version that helps you find something fastest."

Here's every setting he changed 🧵

If this changes how you use Netflix, one ask.

Repost the first post so the next person scrolling for 25 minutes every night on factory settings sees this before they waste another $276/year watching in 480p.

Follow @Alvin1492840 I break down the hidden settings, buried features, and default configurations that companies ship hoping you never change them.

There is literally *nothing* more important for the Senate to debate and ultimately pass right now than the SAVE America Act.

Everything else pales in comparison.

@Supersonic_Red Why is it called Generation Jones?

Are you tired of Democrats setting the agenda and getting their way even when Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House?

Tired of the “we don’t have 60 votes in the Senate” excuse?

Me too

It’s time to nuke the filibuster

Pass it on if you agree

@FoxNews I have despised that jingle from the day it first played on the air- WLS AM 890 probably 20 years ago!!

@EricLDaugh @spencerpratt He is hilarious! I love these ads

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

I’m tired of the Senate’s evergreen excuse for inaction:

“We don’t have 60 votes.”

There are ways around the 60-vote cloture standard.

It’s time to start using them.

And stop disingenuously characterizing any refusal to do so as virtuous or conservative.

@publicpolicyman Yup, I need to get tested by June

@Shannon_A_IL @UofIllinois Yes, I was at @uofillinois from '84 to '93. It was a shame they got rid of Chief Illiniwek at games. I think it was honoring.

Please share if you agree that the Senate should not recess until it has (1) fully funded DHS, and (2) passed the SAVE America Act

Does any other family use the word "fuff" as a verb to mean "fast forward " like through commercials?

@mitchellvii My 535xi 2016 is great,and I think has a classic look, but getting to the age where I just assume several k per year to fix various things that come up. Just spent $2k on rear tires and new tie rods.
