>Funny how saying Bandersnatch was innovative gets HN absolutely livid.
... huh? I didn't say Bandersnatch wasn't innovative and my feathers are far from ruffled. I just don't see how citing one thing from five years ago that no other streamer, nor Netflix themselves, have replicated since (correct me if I'm wrong) is a strong is example of Netflix being "innovative".
I'd argue that other streaming providers would've explored this sort of thing already if they felt there was enough interest. Anecdotally, I'm in multiple communities that involve the discussion of film and television and people just aren't asking for that sort of thing.
Bandersnatch was a silly gimmick, not innovation. Sierra was doing stuff like that in the 90s.
Choose your own adventure TV may be for some, but I hate it. I want to be told a story, not just pick how I want things to go.
Besides, that or AI genned to taste would remove the social aspect. I love discussing shows, movies, etc with friends. That gets hard to impossible in this model...
I assume they’re going to be (one of) the first with an AI-assisted or even completely generated show that is completely tuned to your taste.
I expect the same to happen with games, with the wildcard of multiplayer. Music probably earlier than movies / series and games even.
