Why doesn’t Netflix allow users to choose their streaming quality? Unlike YouTube, where video controls allow you to change settings right there while streaming, Netflix’s controls are still considerably clunky. The best a user can do is ‘allowing’ playback to be on HD, but it won’t run on 4K if, say, your internet was being hogged by something.

This has to do with ABS (Adaptive Bitrate Streaming) technology that Netflix employs to improve user’s streaming experience. Essentially, it chooses for you the most ‘suitable’ quality to run on your screen, taking into account your streaming speed and device’s Digital Rights. Several smartphones, despite their ability to run 1080p, won’t be able to stream Netflix on HD.

Whoever remembers Netflix giving prompts that say, “Are you still watching [show]?” It may seem initially stupid to people when they get asked the question right in the middle of an episode. But the purpose is to prevent this tweet from happening. What triggered this prompt?

Netflix explains that it only appears when “you watch 2 episodes of a TV show in a row without using any video player controls.” It curbs down useless data usage when you’re not watching and Netflix will stop the session if you don’t answer the prompt.

But since October 2020, Netflix seems to be testing for a way to turn off the reminder. Because many of us like to watch shows without skipping the intro or touching the remote for hours. The Verge first reported after a TikTok video of a man who saw the option ‘Play without asking again’ on their Netflix.

Enjoy your freedom.
