Yeah. Sometimes I've wanted to check out a new film on Netflix. I watch the tiny trailer that runs in the app, while I figure out whether it is worth my time.

Trailer ends, and I know all I need to know about the film. The plot is known, the story is more or less obvious. Pick another film, repeat, same thing.

Result: do something else entirely, or watch comfort series like Star Trek, where it doesn't matter that I remember the plotlines.
