    Why doesn’t Netflix have an option to always skip intros? Why do I have to hit it every time? Are there people that love watching the intro?

      Not Netflix, but some shows have amazing intros that change every episode, like GoT.

      Hell the intro was the most interesting part of the first 95% of the first episode (the last two minutes totally made up for it though).

      Some shows put unique gags in each intro, like Simpsons.

        Watching the Simpsons in the 90s… Live, no streaming, no recordings. If I missed that intro my week was ruined.

      I think they use that to help track whether you’re watching or not (I don’t recall ever seeing the “are you still watching?” prompt when skipping intros… but my sample size is 1)

        Show the still watching prompt, auto skip the intros. That is one action every few hours vs one action every half hour.
