The interface is horrible now and the selection doesn't seem as good.
Interface: too many "features" got added and that makes it slow as fuck to scroll through the shows. The autoplay of trailers, and the extra large cards for Netflix original content in particular makes it really annoying. Overall it's just slower and harder to use than it used to be.
Selection: there is some really good Netflix original content, and a few headline big name movies, but after that it's a lot of crap. Used to be I could always find something to watch. Now much less.
Few years back I had both Prime Video and Netflix but I almost never watched Prime, always just used Netflix. Now I find I only go to Netflix when I get specific recommendations from people for good shows and I'll go watch them, but if I just want to browse around for something to watch I find it simpler and less frustrating to browse in Prime.
I think this is 100% because Netflix got worse and not as much because Prime got better, though it did get better.
What's going on Netflix? Lost your edge? Feels like you got a bunch of product managers who got themselves promoted by selling features to management that nobody actually likes. True?

Many of the Netflix originals are really good (as evident by Emmy awards this year). Having said that, I do agree that for some people the collection might not be as great as others, mostly because we are in 190 countries now and catering to all kinds of taste will take some time. For instance, I am from India and prefer Bollywood content over anything else, and for this particular category, I find Amazon prime video to have better content.
Finally, the feedback is welcome.
That is based on my person taste, other people might find Netflix Bollywood content appealing.

I'm not talking about autoplay of the next episode, that's great. I'm talking about autoplay of the trailers when you cursor over a listing in the main screen.
These extra features on the search/browse screen have made it slow and painful to browse the shows and there is no option to turn it off, or any of the other features that have been added that have made it really slow.
Just edited my post to make that clear.
