In this age of constant content, we all face the question, “what do you want to watch?” After over a decade since their streaming platform was first released, Netflix is now giving us a “Play Something” option that will pick and choose what to watch for you based on your previous viewing preferences. If you decide you don’t like its pick, at the touch of a button you can have it “Play Something Else.” According to Netflix’s official press release, when you hit the Play Something button “you’ll be instantly met with a series or film we know you’ll love based on what you’ve watched before. Or with one more click you can ‘Play Something Else’ and get:

A brand new series or film, A series or film you’re already watching, A series or film on your list, or An unfinished series or film you may want to revisit.

Now, if this sounds a bit too Orwellian for you (or Fahrenheit 451 if you’re more of a Bradbury fan), don’t worry, you don’t have to use this feature. But for many of us who just want to unwind and watch something while we relax after a long day, this might just be a life-changer for you.  Just think, at the hit of a button, you could watch The Ranch or Bridgerton any time you’d like! But, I guess we could already do that… With the Play Something Else option, Netflix learns more about what you do or don’t want to watch at any given time, making their future suggestions more “on brand” than before. The Play Something tool is now located on the navigation menu on the Netflix homepage.  For more information on the Play Something option, check out Netflix’s recent press release, which includes video tutorials and a more detailed explanation of this feature.
