> Good luck watching the credits on Netflix—they automatically skip to serve up a new episode.

Lol, you've never seen them play five minutes of credits in thirty seconds after a movie or show ends on basic cable?

Has Mr. Diaz never met anyone outside Hollywood? People don't pay for streaming services to watch credits.

There are some shows like Veep that actually have great content during the credits. I couldn’t stand watching that show using HBO max because I missed so many jokes.

I like to watch the credits, even for TV shows I'm watching serially. For me it's like getting that last bite of dessert before the end of a meal, plus I get to stretch my legs, check email, go to the bathroom, etc. before the next show starts.

In the Netflix web interface there's a per profile setting to turn off that behaviour so you can watch the credits in peace.
