Netflix's user-side software has always been garbage. The android app forces you to keep a separate brightness slider from your phone, so if you watch Netflix a lot you're constantly having to adjust your screen brightness twice. It's also nearly 2022 and you still can't reorder the profiles on the login screen. How fucking hard can that possibly be?

Netflix won't even let you change which account "owns" the account - my daughter was very young when we first got Netflix, and there was multi user (or whatever tablet she used didn't support it) so my account was full of children's videos. Once Netflix added multi user, I renamed the first user to her name and made myself a new name same as the old name.

If I want to look at DVD queues (hah) I have to be on her user to do so.

I'm actually surprised how easily everyone forgave them for the bait and switch they pulled that essentially put brick and mortar video rental places out of business, though.
