did you know Netflix has a bunch of

number 10 the welcome to Hawkins sign
from stranger things for their countdown
to season 2 of stranger things
Netflix dedicated their entire homepage
to the sci-fi series if you clicked on
the welcome to Hawkins sign in the
middle of their banner your entire
browser would go into the upside-down
vines and dust covered the temporarily
flipped menu and the mouse became a
flashlight for its darkened look if he
took too long to pick a show the demo
Gorgon would jump scare you before
returning things to normal along with a
glowing orb that took you to the upside
down
Netflix really gave their fans a unique
way to see their website number 9
throught all your data usage for those
using phone data or even just limited
broadband connections Netflix can drain
your resources fast since the site
claims it can use up to one gigabyte per
hour they have extra options to control
how much data you use mobile users
unable to stream through Wi-Fi can go
into app settings then cellular data
usage and set it to save data those on a
computer can go to playback settings and
then set their account to low with
reduced video quality alternatively the
high settings can use up to seven gigs
an hour but give you Ultra HD whatever
you prefer these tweaks give you control
over your streaming number eight search
optimization Netflix arranges most of
its content by genre
but each category is arranged somewhat
randomly well it seems like the only
alternative is to view suggestions for
you in the top right corner of the
screen this button also opens up more
sorting possibilities the suggestions
drop-down allows you to sort by year of
release and even organize titles
alphabetically
you can type Netflix into the search bar
as well and it will narrow results down
to Netflix originals only though this is
a basic mix of sorting options it gives
you much more structure to work with
number 7 hidden buffer settings if you
feel like your Netflix stream is
underperforming for your internet and
hardware there are menus that offer a
few workarounds by hitting shift alt and
then left clicking you’ll open up varied
settings for video playback here you can
change audio and video bit rates to
override the site’s automatic decision
making you can also switch the content
delivery network in the rare case that
you’re just on an overloaded server
while you can fix issues that Netflix
itself is giving you it’s best to see
what works best for your system to this
hidden menu will help you get the most
out of your hardware either way and
improve streaming during busy hours
number 6 hotkeys trying to rewind with a
mouse on Netflix can be annoying and
using a touchpad is even harder Netflix
is keyboard shortcuts on the other hand
allow you to navigate much faster
without distracting you from what’s on
screen the spacebar and enter key are
easy pause and play buttons while the S
key is the quickest way to skip intros
left and right arrow keys will let you
skip backwards and forwards respectively
and ctrl + space lets you move frame by
frame to adjust volume just use the up
and down arrows or mute something
altogether with the M key with such easy
ways to use Netflix hotkeys help you
number 5
reset viewing history if you decide to
keep binging a show without your
significant other Netflix is viewing
history will snitch on you for the
sneaky fans out there you can go to
account and then viewing activity to
erase progress in a series though you’ll
have to go through episode by episode
this is a surprisingly simple way to
hide what you’re watching this trick is
also handy for anyone with a guilty
pleasure show that they’re too
embarrassed to let people know about
erasing your history is also a quick fix
for titles that won’t leave
or continue watching queue when being
honest isn’t easy viewing activity
allows you to alter what people know
you’re watching to watch the new one
without me betrayal stings doesn’t it
number four custom subtitles subtitles
are necessary to watch great foreign
language content and Netflix gives you
creative ways to personalize them under
account you can open up subtitle
appearance and create dozens of unique
captions fonts vary from bland to
classic serif typefaces and Netflix has
its own take on the goofy Comic Sans
look colors can be changed to read for
something more horrific or yellow and
pink for a more lighthearted affair
while sizes and shadowing can help words
stand out there’s also background and
windowing options to give subtitles
their own box as boring as reading
during a show can be customisation
brings more visual flair to your words
number three xlc your stanley tribute to
honor stanley netflix used his signature
catchphrase to showcase his legacy a
following Lee’s death
typing Excelsior into the search bar
brings up a selection of Marvel shows
and movies sharp fans may notice that
Luke Cage and iron fist are absent from
this feature and that’s cuz they’re not
actually Stan’s creations rather than
making a blanket all Marvel lists these
omissions show the extra attention that
Netflix gives to an Easter Egg several
of the titles on the list even feature
Lee saying excelsior Netflix is
commitment to continue adding films to
the feature is a testament to their love
of all things pop culture number two
request new titles sometimes it can feel
like your favorite show will never come
to Netflix but you can actually ask them
for it directly by going to help center
and selecting request TV shows or movies
you’ll get a box to name off a title
rather than going through social media
this is Netflix is only way for members
to demand new content you can list up to
three choices at a time and they leave
room to talk about why something should
be added while this is a straightforward
process it gives a voice to users that
they may not know they even have people
have spoken
number one crazy specific category codes
and hidden movies there are so many
movies on Netflix that most titles get
buried under what’s popular boring like
what something up
despite their usual set of genres on the
home menu there are thousands of codes
to see the sights oddly peculiar
subcategories type in netflix.com slash
browse then slash genre slash and then a
corresponding number code for 5 0 to 8
will give you deep-sea horror movies
while 1 0 0 5 6 is for movies based on
children’s books options can be as
specific as can’t be independent crime
comedies or gory military action and
adventure on blu-ray titles can be
sorted by decade the channels that
produce them and even seen moments like
belly dancing since many films are too
obscure for the main lists these codes
unearth movies you wouldn’t normally see
on Netflix man is there anything Netflix
can’t do seriously why don’t you watch
these other videos and try to prove me
wrong now if you’ll excuse me I will be
playing with subtitle colors and fonts for the next three hours
in one night my boyfriend is gonna kill
me
