Have a Kodi add-on setup integrated with trakt and custom widgets. So whenever I load up Kodi I get a feed of

  • New episodes for shows I already watch as soon as they air
  • New trending shows (in descending order of current viewers)
  • Newest shows on steeamers like Netflix, Amazon, Apple, BBC (which depend on the fine folk whom add them to trakt lists)
  • Recommended shows from trakt

And then a separate similar set of widgets for movies. I find the trakt recommendations include a lot of old movies too. So if I can't find anything I want from the feeds of new stuff, I just pull up the trailer for one of the old movies I'm recommended and take a punt on it if I'm interested.

For YouTube I just use the recommendation algorithms (delivered via SmartTube)

Fair enough. I think it subverts the genre tropes enough to keep it interesting. More so than The Boys for example.

Plus I still get plenty revved up over a good action sequence featuring an indie band I like, like Amyl & The Sniffers (whom it seems Black Mirror just discovered as well)

It can be funny as like a case study in emotional manipulation by producers.

And then you realise people actually are gullible enough not to see through it and it's not funny anymore.

I've just been replaying it again since it was included in gamepass - already have hundreds of hours racked up between PC & Switch.

Definitely my favourite roguelite. And the soundtrack is so good. Haven't tried Exit since I heard bad things, and I never really got to the point where I'd fully completed the first. But that teaser got me super pumped.

This week I watched:

  • Ludwig - excellent

  • Deli Boys - not bad

  • Cassandra - made me sad

  • Curb - hadn't caught up on S12 yet

  • The Studio - super interesting but not convinced I really like it yet

You can't really have a 'flagship series' with 6 episodes per season. By the time weekly viewers have determined it's worthy of water cooler conversation, it's finished. Bingers blast through it in an evening. What a waste of talent and resources.

Qualifying your analogy with (mostly) kinda makes it fall apart for me. Because the fediverse also works like how you described email (mostly). There might be a few extra exceptions due to relative immaturity of the protocol is all.
