I don't get it. The UI is one of the worst I've used.

I agree, I tried to scroll around and helper dialogues were popping up and telling me to use my arrow keys. The UI is horrible and this company should probably fold up and go home now before they waste all of their investors money.

edit: I've become accustomed to the horizontal scrolling in Netflix's interface, but Netflix also has (I assume) a lot of talented UI/UX people on staff, which this site obviously lacks.

Same here. My first reaction was, "No thanks - three videos at a time? Piss off." They'll never recover from this design IMO. It's an indication of an intractable design ideology. They'd have to fire/change half their staff to get over such a design flaw, I bet. And one of those is going to certainly be the CEO - thus this just is going to doom them. On the other hand, this is the best "information density" counter-example ever.
Not only is it not intuitive, it's soul killing slow.
