Viewers struggle to keep watchlists and episode order under control
TV and movie viewers describe difficulty managing large or messy lists: some want to reorder a massive watchlist, make room for rewatches, or remove shows added by autoplay. Collectors also run into episode-order mismatches when their files are organized by production order rather than airdate. A standalone tracker could help organize personal lists, but changing a streaming service’s own continue-watching list may require platform access that an indie developer cannot guarantee.
For TV and movie viewers with large watchlists or personal collections. Mentioned from Apr 2024 to Aug 2026 on Bluesky.

I would pay IMDB real American dollars for a way to easily re-order my entire massive watchlist
IQiyi's firestick app has started autoplaying a random new show when you finish an episode and so now I have to go through the tedious process of removing the random new show from my continue watching list using the phone app. This isn't a big problem in the scheme of things but it's bloody annoying
