Never had a high-seas site autoplaying. Just saying.
- well... ads, maybe
  
  uBlock Origin takes care of that.
- If pirating tv/movies was as easy on Apple TV or a gaming console as Netflix is, I would drop it in a second. I’m paying them exclusively for convenience and to fund my laziness.
  
  I'd just put any old laptop in place of each lol

People still pay for this shit?

Alt text?

You can disable auto play in the account settings. I needed to login on the website to do that but it works on my TV now.
- Same. Although it's (at least on my TV) profile-specific. Regardless if it's all on the same account.
- I tried that and it still autoplays :(
  
  Must have done it wrong then?
- That's fair, but for awhile that setting only worked on desktop, and various apps still may or may not respect the setting. I've never encountered someone who enjoys this being on be default.
  
  That could be the case. Guess I'm lucky my old ass TV seems to respect the setting.

Just set up my living room Linux pc with Kodi and got all my shows and movies in one nice spot all organized with a beautiful ui. Kodi has many themes, extensions and cool stuff like controller support and the connectivity to other software like jellyfin to stream locally.
Highly recommend it 🏴‍☠️
- I wish Kodi had a better interface for playing YouTube videos. Searching and finding a video to watch with that UI is terrible.
  
  In case you didn't know, you can send a YouTube URL to Kodi by sharing it from your phone to the Kore app.
  So you can do your browsing on your phone/tablet and when you want to watch something on the big screen, you just share it with the Kore app and it will start playing.
  
  Didn’t know that Kodi could play YouTube videos. I just downloaded all of Dragon Ball Z Abridged and set it up like a show 😆
  If you want a great experience with YouTube I can highly recommend the freetube app. It’s worked flawlessly so far on my Linux setup. Just needs updates occasionally like everything else.
  If you want a really beautiful experience with Kodi I can highly recommend the “Copacetic” skin.

I hate that when I pause to read something an ad pops up

Think about the poor KPIs that will not be met otherwise. And try not to think about Goodhart's law.

This assumes they don't block you for not being at home

Mute button .... playing everything on mute until I'm ready to watch whatever it is I want to watch
- Valid, but shouldn't be necessary.

Why not use the actual scene from The Fugitive?
