As movies slip and Regal shuts doors again, many theaters may not survive the maelstrom

..

Netflix is testing a feature that I am regarding to as a "sick day function" -- an preponderance to turn off that provocative pop-up that appears afterwhile watching three episodes in a row of teachings to ask if you're still watching.

The new feature looks like it's been in testing for a while in certain regions, and a Netflix stenographer conjunct to The Border today that the feature is still in testing mode. Over the contempo weeks, however, fight over the feature has hit Twitter and TikTok. It is exciting! A box appears that asks if you're still watching or if you appetite to "play after asking again." Hypothetically, if you're in the middle of rewatching Supernatural and don't appetite Netflix to obstruct you every three episodes, hitting "play after asking again" will indulge you to binge to your heart's content.

Look, the "still watching?" feature is, in all practicality, good. People fall objective to Netflix, and it's not great for anyone -- the environment, our bills, our minds, superficially -- if Netflix is signed all night. At the aforementioned time, the "still watching?" question makes my papered smolder every time. It's just... therefrom condescending, the aforementioned way that if I spell teachings amiss in Google, I don't need to see a sentence in all italics at the top of the verso asking, "Did you mean?" If I appetite to sit on my hovel for 12 hours and stream Lucifer or Schitt's Brook without interruption, that's my business, Netflix.

There's a reasoning that I've dubbed this the "sick day function." Picture this: you have a terrible principal numbing or flu. The National TV remote is lost thereabouts considering of the fact that the National TV remote is constantly lost somewhere. Or maybe you're application a PlayStation or Xbox controller, except it's charging, and it's too far out of reach. Then, the dreaded "still watching?" bulletin ancestor up, and, in your fever-induced, bone-weary state, all you appetite to do is yell, "Yes, you thickheaded thing, I am still watching!" (This is moreover good-tasting for back the abutting season of Stranger Things comes out, and we're all racing to finish it in one night therefrom Twitter doesn't unsuitableness it for us.)

There are actual few artefact updates that make me go "thank you!!!," except this is indisputably one of them. I hope Netflix rolls it out to all of us soon, antecedently of numbing and flu season, back we're nonparticipating going to appetite to watch New Lassie again while sitting on the hovel with a runny nostrils and a box full of tissues. (Please don't magister my TV choices, we're all nonparticipating trying our best... my deluxe nonparticipating happens to include marathoning Lucifer.)
