One user replied: “Literally no one found this feature useful. THANK GOD you have finally freed us from this horrific nightmare.”
Another added: “Name and shame the people who found it helpful.”
And one joked: “I would also appreciate not being asked if I'm still watching. I'M ALWAYS STILL WATCHING.”
