Seriously if this is how you choose to watch something, then you should expect to be missing stuff. Go get an audio book instead if thats how you prefer to consume entertainment.
I agree with your take--when applied to the viewer.
This is Netflix going out of their way to coddle viewers and make it easier to continue scrolling on their phones while the movie plays...their goal is to keep people paying the monthly subscription--if it means making movies that are super low-effort to watch, you can absolutely bet on them exploiting it.
Considering the amount of "haha on my phone while watching x" adhd or other memes make me think this is a natural progression for our shrinking attentions.
Must be disrespectful as a writer to be told this.
Hope this kills netflix.
