Whoever decided that every streaming service should immediately minimize the movie and show Related Content the split second the credits start rolling has perpetrated a great sin on this world and is my enemy

@hannah Seriously. I have always had this degree of reverence for credit rolls. Like you should stay and watch them even if you don't care exactly. It's showing respect for the people who made the film or show.

But no, the bastards want you to ignore those people and look at ~More Content~

@chimerror ffs at least give me 10 seconds for the last shot to sink in
@hannah especially with Bojack horseman.
@hannah ayyup. there has never been a time where I finish a movie and them am like "alright, let's go watch something else now." i want to sit and marinate in it

Relatedly: I would watch the shit out of a ‘just the credits’ tail-cut of each episode that one could select from the usual episodes menu.
@hannah This is the same person that decided that clicking the "close button" or "back button" on a video should minimize the video into the corner and keep playing it until you find the magic tiny stop button.
@hannah Watching the credits is the best form of asmr
@hannah @nedraggett Imagine if Ferris Bueller’s Day Off premiered online.
@hannah @jake4480 I am just glad that the audio description tracks don’t currently just stop reading the credits and start talking about that crap..

@hannah I think Charlie Brooker talked about this a while ago, and said it's like when you finish the final page of a book, it's nice to just sit in the feeling for a while and not have someone immediately come up and start shouting at you to read a different book, which is what he thought the experience on streaming services was like

(of course, thanks to Kindle you can *actually* have this experience with books too)

@hannah
I don't typically watch basic cable anymore, but watched a couple of movies on FXM, and was impressed by the exponential curve used for the insertion of ads: no ads in the first 20 minutes, accelerating to ads every 6 minutes in the last hour.

@hannah
TV stations have been doing this for decades. It was still aggravating but at least then it made sense because they were trying to keep to a schedule. People were already tuning in for the next program.

With streaming, though, it's just purely attention hording and advertising.

@hannah And the ones that give you 3 seconds to grab the remote and hit the correct button, or have the next show/recommendation play need to CHILL!
@hannah Yes!
And starting the next episode in 3, 2, 1 ...
