I would disagree and say this is important if you are trying to maximize screen time, not if you are trying to maximize enjoyment. When I want to half pay attention or I am mentally tired, I put on something easy, usually something I have seen before. I watch it because it is easy and familiar, but I have no desire to watch something “similar”. If you keep pushing it, and auto playing, you could probably get me to watch similar things, but I doubt I will like them.

When I’m actually watching something, I want it to be complex, thoughtful, interesting and challenging. I don’t spend as much time watching but those are the things I watch with all of my attention.

I am actively trying to reduce my intake of low effort tv because it wastes my time, doesn’t actually give me much enjoyment, and takes attention away from things I do enjoy. It’s like comparing the books you read to doomscrolling Facebook. Reading time vs ratings are going to be very different.
