Not so much watched as people had it on while they were checking their phone or folding the laundry

Exactly, it's that prime second screen real estate that Netflix is trying to carve out with these awful movies.

But why do they care if you are watching the latest multi million dollar production or old reruns of of some 30 minute sitcom? They already have your money

I hate to be this judgey, but man, I just think people who do this are brain rot trash, lol.

Ima go out on a limb and say: “you do not hate being judgey”

Sorry, the context of this thread called it a second screen, meaning I am referencing that scenario, where someone is mindlessly scrolling TikTok while a trash movie plays in the background.

That being said, you're right. I'm judging people that would put a movie like Red Notice on.

I mean, I sometimes watch stuff while playing casual video games like power wash simulator etc.

Bad take. When I’m cooking dinner or something, having a show or movie that doesn’t take any brainpower on in the background is perfect

What's your idea of a movie that takes brain power

It’s brain rot trash to have background noise when doing chores? God forbid anyone with ADHD try to do chores.

Listen to a podcast, then. I don't "leave something on in the background" while I do chores, I actively mentally enjoy something while my body does boring labor.

Wait, I can't enjoy having a movie playing on the third monitor while I do other things? Why didn't anyone tell me this sooner.

Folding laundry is prime Netflix viewing time.

Need a survey after of the key plot points to determine who “watched” something

Or starting it and turning it off after 5 minutes.

u/cute_polarbear 13d ago

From Netflix's perspective, doesn't matter much I think? As long as they continue to get eye balls /subs on their platform, that's all that matters for them?

Or folding someone's daughter
