I find it very stressful when watching Netflix because I don't know what is going to happen. Maybe they could include the full story line at the start of the series, so I can read it ahead of time and remove all suspense and surprise.

True, but plots are only half the story. I'd be very grateful if they could give me some sample scenes (ideally automatically, so I don't have to go through the trouble of starting them every single time). I mean, how do people even decide whether a movie might be for them without having first inspected a good portion of it?

It's weird to me how the first two replies to this comment completely missed the sarcasm.

Do we need to start using the "/s" tag here like became necessary on reddit? I don't like the thought, but maybe it's a different issue in this case-- more of a non-native-English or on-the-spectrum thing than an inexperienced teenager thing? I hope so.

Any time one is tempted to post a sarcastic comment, it's good to re-read Poe's law[0] first. It does in fact always apply when posting on the internet.

I’m afraid that the risk of failing to understand my sarcasm is one my readers will have to take, unaided by sarctags and helpful expositions

What you seem to be missing is that people are reading your post in a non-sarcastic, non-ironic manner and agreeing with it. As Poe's law points out, that will always be the case.

Poe's law speaks to the size of the population on the internet and of the range of viewpoints it hosts as a result.

I am not OP; my simple point is that I don’t really care how “people” interpret my comments, and I will continue to write for those who _are_ clever enough to comprehend my intent (which one might imagine most people on this forum to be).
