Having to configure settings all over again on every single device pissed me off, especially since the new app didn't even have subtitles customization of any kind. As someone who uses subtitles for almost all viewing, nothing turns me off of a streaming service faster than being stuck with shitty black bars and gigantic blocky text by default and being unable to change it.

And for fuck's sake, nobody likes video previews with sound, and you can take your credit-skipping autoplay and shove it up your corporate ass.
