In my recent analysis of YouTube’s information density I included the results from an advanced statistical analysis on the number of videos present on the home page, which projected that around May 2026 there would only be one lonely video on the home screen.
I went into Netflix recently to find the same thing. Hardly anything visible on screen, just a handful of massive buttons.
You can see maybe two movies to the right of the main one, and the top half of the row below.
I assume this is just to hide the fact that there’s precious little worth watching on it.
