One more thing that really defies my expectations. This is a media LIBRARY. A library is a thing where one organises information to make it findable. So while it is fine to have “recently added” or “recently watched”, and it’s fine to make them prominent, it is not fine to hide the library and the organisation.

These apps offer a zillion ways to organise: recently added, next up, unwatched, related. They don’t show you your library structure. I find it hard to believe there are many people out there like me who have hundreds of films, but DONT organise them. Surely they can’t be the majority. Surely people are not dumping every film into one giant folder and hoping the apps will sort it out.

I know what I want better than they do. Show the fucking hierarchy that I built.
