I totally agree. To be honest, I don't remember even enabling the Hulu and Netflix skills, so they are likely automatically added as a part of the Alexa app/system.

I also hate that we cannot modify the Fire TV, Roku, Apple TV, etc. interfaces to get rid of the 95% of garbage we don't care about. It would be nice if these streaming services would allow us re-organize the screens in a meaningful way so we could find what we want in a hurry. It is like going to the grocery store. You just get used to where everything is located then they rearrange everything to make you browse in hopes of selling you impulse items. Plus you have to avoid all the shelf restockers who are there and in the way regardless of what day or time you go. That pretty much describes the interfaces for streaming services too. Way too much clutter designed to get us to watch things rather than organization designed to help us navigate quickly. It seems like all of the streaming services I've used are too cluttered to be navigable in any meaningful way, and appear to be written and designed my morons.
