Current Events > People who skip the intro and outtro when watching tv shows on streaming service

(+) Yeah! (+)

Literally monsters.

I only watch them once the first time and will only stick around if they're any post-credit scenes if not, then I skip those too. Repeat the cycle with every season.

They're saving literally hours of their lives!

What about people who skip the company screens when you start up a game?

If the time saved from skipping those was added to like a time save bank, that would be true, otherwise it really doesnt save any time

What kind of case study watches the intros every time that is madness

Same. If I like an opening/ending song enough to want to listen to it more than once or twice, I'll download it to my phone and listen to it on my own time.

i'm currently watching Star Trek DS9, and honestly, the intro sucks
after the first episode, i skip it every time

hell, that can be said for all the Star Treks
while Next Generation is great, i never wanna hear "space, the final frontier" ever again

Watching Quantum Leap(the original) right now and the season 5 intro is legit awful, they completely ruined the music so I'm definitely just gonna skip it on the rest of the episodes.

It's a mood setter. The episode is ruined without it.

I like watching multiple episodes in a row, so usually I'll watch the intro/outro on the first episode of the session, then skip it for the others.

If Ive already seen it a million times, why do I have to see it again?

Unless its The Sopranos/Breaking Bad.sets the vibe every episode

I will never understand why people watch anime intros

I only watch the OP/ED each time if they're unskippably good.

the breaking bad intro is like 4 seconds long. youre actively losing time if you skip it anyway

It used to be fine when OP/EDs were short, but they're getting longer now, sometimes coming close to your typical anime OP/ED, which are too long to watch every single time you start marathoning something. It's just tedious.

This is exactly how I feel about openers too, and I always get ridiculed for it lol. Nice to finally see that someone else does it too

I never skip any intro/outro for any show, regardless of how many times Ive seen it. Sets the mood at the start and the end of the episode too.

Netflix is such a trash service because your only options are "skip the outro automatically" and "keep the outro, but you have to manually click the the next episode every time"

All I want is to let the credits roll normally and then, after that, for it to move on to the next one.

Netflix literally has the best interface of any streaming service by a million percent

Hulu is weird about this. Only certain shows allow you to skip the opening, and the ones that do (like crime dramas CSI and Criminal Minds) they don't let you skip the intro if it's the first episode of a season.

I know, I hate it. The option to watch the outtro and then go directly into the next episode's intro should be there. It's annoying I have to click. Though really, this is all streaming services in my recent experience, not just netflix.

Depends on the intro and if it's fun/catchy. I can watch the intro to Peacemaker over and over again, but usually skipped GoT and boring ones like Westworld.
