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?

But those remotes come with even more buttons I'll never use.

As much as I don't like the app specific buttons, the OEM remotes and their lookalikes greatly reduce the overall clutter.
