The Amazon Prime app for Apple TV has some great features (e.g.: X-Ray tells you the actors in a scene when you pause) but is the cheapest-looking app I’ve used on any platform in decades.

@gruber How is it that no streaming service has stolen this feature?

@Waustin @gruber Amazon owns IMDB, so I wonder if they’re levering that as a unique advantage, for what it’s worth.

@theronster @Waustin There’s got to be a lot of manual labor involved too, to tag each scene in every show, including time stamping the scenes.

@gruber @Waustin Sure, I’m guessing a lot of interns have spent a lot of time cursing the feature they labour to support.

@theronster @gruber @Waustin you’ll know that Google are getting in on it when you get asked “select only photos containing this actor to prove you are a human” on every website login.
