Netflix: James Bond?
Me: Yes!
Netflix: We don't have it!
From a UX perspective, would you prefer the site pretends they never heard of James Bond, rahter than confirming it's existence and (un)availability?
I don't use Netflix, so I apologise if the UI is actually intentionally misleading, but that otherwise sounds like good UX.
I'm not sure. I think I'd prefer if it did something like:
James Bond (not available on Netflix)
That way I wouldn't have to click through to see whether it's on there.
I guess the status quo feels shitty to me because aside from dealing with the disappointment of not having the content I want, they will also try and vie for my time with content they think is similar to what I was looking for.
Yeah that sounds best, save unnecessary click/confirm but still acknowledge the query.
I doubt Netflix wants to show:
Search: A
AB (unavailable)
ABC (unavailable)
ABCD (unavailable)
So probably a gray/dark pattern...
Who has Netflix these days? Why?
Where else would you find such a great spellchecker?
Hard to find Japanese subs for a lot of western media, and netflx subs all their stuff. There just isn't a ton of piracy compared to western countries.
You need that to survive?
I live in Japan and that situation applies to some people in my life
This was honestly my final straw.
Cause they don’t just tell you they don’t have it, they just try to give you something similar.
It’s literally the “can we have ___? We have ___ at home” meme
i think it good to be able to confirm uts not available and you didnt just misspeel it
Better that then “Avenge-? Yeah man I don’t know what you’re on about.”
Try nintendo store search.
Pointless to even expect it to autofill popular games. Autofills totally random words.
Best we can do is offer the crappy sequel.
That one is the fault of every media company wanting to have their own streaming platform.
SEO
If you search “watch XYZ online” Google will still link to Netflix even if they don’t carry it.
80% of the time when you ask “why is there content I don’t want” the answer is SEO.
Jellyfin don't do that
It means they have it, just not in your country
I've never checked if it also includes things they've had before but currently lack the rights for
Not necessarily. I think they still use a lot of titles as tags to try and get you a “if you like x, then you should watch y.”
+1 this
Your intent to watch something is monetizable
You guys still use netflix ?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I feel like they only help you spell the ones they don't have. Not that I've been on Netflix in years
So they can offer you "thing you want that we have at home"
Oh man, not missing netflix for a second.
It is so you know you did not type it incorrectly.
Netflix and Spell
Marketing.
Marketing disappointment

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
