I mean, if you think about it, we've all had databases and filters for how many years now? Since at least the mid-80's, even for the tech-challenged? Let's go wild and say "nah, really, it was the mid-90's," and be conservative about how many years it's been. Okay, fine, so ONLY just shy of 30 years.
You can't tell me that using a NOT filter is that damned hard. I suspect what I said, now that I've really given it a nanosecond's thought, inspired by the above post--they have zero interest in letting you know just how little content that they have that might
actually appeal to you.
I seriously have scads of "stuff" I'd love to filter out of my searches or even the grid results (half of which, IMHO are ...nearly unusable. I don't know WTH Amazon thinks it's doing with its layout on Roku, but jjjjjjeeeeeezzzzzzzzeeeeeeeee). As I mentioned above, sitcoms could all go. Romances.
Lifetime stuff of any stripe. REALITY shows. I mean...oi.
Sure, we're picky. So
what? Isn't that why we pay for streaming? For
our convenience and enjoyment? Why should I be tortured, forced into scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, trying to find one d*mned show worth watching? Why can't I shorten that considerably by nuking the unwanted results in the first place?
Ugh.
