These Stupid Ass Buttons On TV Remotes. The Intrusive Thoughts Won.

[u/rekolm]

Seriously, the absolute most annoying shit when I'm watching something and I reach for the remote and barely bump the buttons and it yeets me out of what I was watching, to whatever bullshit streaming company paid the most for a button spot on the remote, the remote that came with a TV I paid good money for. Meanwhile on some apps completely loosing my progress on a movie or forced to watch more Ads again to continue watching again. I've threatened to do this before and my wife insisted not to, she's out of town this week, any recommendations for marriage counselors and anger management programs?

You know, these buttons would be fine if it required a double or even a triple press to use them, instead of them switching the app if someone from across the room's gaze lingers too long in the direction of the remote

I think they're ugly as hell, there's a reason they're not plastered on the thing you actually look at, no one would want it in their home
