My experience with this is Scroll, Scroll, Scroll, Scroll, Scroll, Watch. Disgust, Repeat.

The only exception is if someone recommends something that never appeared in all the scrolling, in which case the Disgust becomes Dismay when it's invariably cancelled.

I stopped paying for Netflix some time ago as a result.

Now we pay for a streaming service for a few months and change to the next one. The local free to air channels are now obnoxious and the only palatable one left is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation which has a love hate relationship with closed captioning.

SBS is now actively blocking people with DNS filters, before that, they decided that closed captioning was linked to advertising.
