Netflix Introduces ‘Play Something’ Feature to End Your Endless Scrolling

In a bid to rescue us from our endless scrolling habits, Netflix has rolled out a new feature called “Play Something.” This initiative comes as users reportedly spend around six billion hours each month consuming content on the platform. However, there’s a pressing question: how many hours are wasted in the futile search for something new to watch, often leading to the dreaded choice of rewatching a familiar favorite?

For those who find themselves endlessly browsing the Netflix menu instead of actually enjoying shows or movies, “Play Something” is here to help. As soon as you log in, you’ll notice this new button. If you dare to click it, Netflix promises to present you with three options: a new show or film that aligns with your viewing history, a title you’ve seen before but haven’t revisited in a while, and an episode from a series that you started but didn’t finish.

This strategy of limiting choices to avoid overwhelming users reminds me of the way I sometimes offer my kids a few dinner options to prevent meltdowns. Honestly, if Netflix wants to treat us like toddlers, I’m totally on board!

With countless shows and films available on Netflix, from gripping British crime dramas to vibrant Korean rom-coms, many of us hesitate to explore due to decision fatigue. And when you’re on the couch with a partner, the pressure to consider their (often misguided) opinions makes decision-making even tougher.

Scrolling through endless options can feel like time slips away, leaving you in a state of panic as bedtime approaches—resulting in yet another rewatch of “Schitt’s Creek.” While it’s perfectly fine to enjoy a beloved series repeatedly, if you’re spending nearly $20 a month on Netflix to watch the same show over and over, perhaps it’s time to consider just purchasing the DVD.

“Play Something” might be a breakthrough for those of us ready to escape this repetitive cycle. And if Netflix could develop an algorithm to help with dinner decisions, I would gladly sign up for that too!
