A guy paid Netflix $263 last year.
He watched maybe 40 hours of it. Most nights he opened the app, scrolled, found nothing, and closed his laptop.
His sister — she used to work on Netflix's product team — came over for dinner, grabbed his laptop, and spent 15 minutes in Settings.
By the time she was done, his homepage looked nothing like it did an hour before. Trailers stopped auto-blasting. The picture on his TV sharpened. Categories he'd never seen appeared. His "For You" row actually matched what he liked.
He said: "How did I not know any of this existed?"
She said: "Because Netflix doesn't want you to. Every setting I just changed makes the app work better for you and worse for their numbers."
Here's what she did 🧵
@ChipotleTweets why is it so hard to cancel an order? I have been trying to call a store for the last 30 minutes. You guys have to revamp this. I shouldnt have to lose money because of this.
@Thefactsdude I bet that cop is not even from that area. Otherwise he would know that almost everyone in east Texas has a burn pile/burn barrel on their property.
