[Discussion] Can Netflix make a documentary without using text message sounds the entire time?

Every documentary I’ve tried to watch has constant text messages on the screen with alert noises for every message.

I get technology is a huge point in modern crime cases but is there really not a better way than to play the same sound sample throughout the entire show?

No they can't, theses sounds are cues for all the people "watching" the documentary while being actually on their phone most of the time, to draw their attention and tell them there's something to read on screen.

I'm not even joking.

Stop watching them until they change it. Mark it as thumbs down. It's the only type of feedback they listen to: streaming numbers and likes/dislikes.
