They recently made everything massive blocks of color so now it’s impossible to read anything. Damn splash screen takes up a third of my TV

They’re made to “Enhance the user experience profit”

“Enhance the user experience” is just what the dev or documentation team writes when management dictates that they drop a feature. The only reasons they would have dropped it:

• Dev work vs actual customer usage (e.g. it wasn’t getting a lot of users but devs had to maintain it with each update)
• People were using it to intercept the stream and capture movies to pirate.

Every decision is about increasing profits first, and UX almost always takes a back seat to that
