My issue was cutting out the sharing. I was paying for 4 screens at a time. Why should they care which 4 screens are being used?

Once I realized a decent VPN was $5/month, that I could get TV shows without the 35% time addition of commercials, and stop worrying about what I get going away, the issue wasn't that Netflix was bad, it was just worse than the alternative.

edit: not that Netflix has commercials, but the fact one could get anything without them as well (like paying for cable...)

Technically it's the HTML markup for &. When publishing the title it stores it as

& amp; (with no space)

and the browser interprets it as & but when a bot posts it elsewhere it reads and reproduces the entire string as plain text. Would take a single function to fix the bot.

edit: Lemmy keeps interpreting the markup as just & lol
