I don't stream a lot. Every few months I'll just want to zonk out for a while though. The past few times I've wanted to watch "nothing in particular" it's gone something like:
1. Sit down, open Netflix.
2. Scroll through all the categories and suggestions on the home screen, finding nothing interesting.
3. Search for a few things I thought of while scrolling. Search returns things I can watch instead since what I searched for isn't on Netflix.
3. Open Prime Video, see something I'm interested in suggested pretty quickly, pay $ to rent or buy.
I second this. I also experience this with Youtube. If Youtube monetized the part where you're scrolling looking for a video they would 10x their ad revenue.
That used to my experience many years ago before I started using the "not interested" button aggressively. Now every video on my YouTube front page is 10/10
