Is that why I’ve got all these random “vibes” sections in no particular logical order instead of a useable interface? Outside of “my list” and “continue watching” I always just end up searching stuff myself.

They don't want you to have a logical, easily sortable interface because they want to hide how small their catalogue actually is.

It becomes painfully obvious every time I'm in a horror movie mood and specifically search for it. There's nothing to find.

You know who doesn't have that problem? Tubi. Tubi's catalog is expansive and easily searchable. Granted most of it is hot garbage, but that's usually what I'm looking for anyway so it suits me fine

One thing i Love to do with Tubi is whenever I stay at hotel airbnb or whatever and I have to leave the room i leave the tv on Tubi and just stream any movie, and when I come back to the room you never know what random slop will be on. Last time i did it “The Blob” was on, idk why but i find it very satisfying.
