        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lazy TV viewers didn’t know what they had until it was gone.</p><p>The ability to choose what to watch on demand is what drove consumers to streaming in the first place. Now, with thousands of movies and series to select from on&nbsp;<strong>over 200 streaming networks globally</strong>, users are suffering choice paralysis, because even picking a program to watch can be exhausting after a long day.</p><p>Having heard&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/Corbangarang/status/1283036460757721092?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the pleas</a>&nbsp;of weary TV watchers, Netflix has launched a shuffle button for some mobile and streaming platforms, including Android and Fire TV users. Apple TV and Amazon Firestick customers have thus far been excluded.</p><p>The function began&nbsp;<strong>testing among some users</strong>&nbsp;last year, and could only be applied to television shows at the time with a “Random Episode” button.&nbsp;<strong>During a later rollout</strong>&nbsp;of new features, Netflix trialed, and later added, a “Remove from Row” option, which allows users to curate their “Continue Watching” section.</p><p>“So are we just not going to acknowledge the fact that netflix has added a shuffle feature,”&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/bigmanjesss/status/1282422008970715139" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">one person writes</a>.</p><p>“This new shuffle feature on Netflix is crazy hahaha genius,”&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/Shelbie_THFC/status/1282045727863181312" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">another says</a>.</p><p>A Netflix spokesperson told The Post that this surprise roll-out is really just a &#8220;second round of testing,&#8221; and said that the current experience may not last. For now, they&#8217;re focused on gathering feedback, and added they&#8217;re working on a variety of products aimed at helping users find and discover new shows.</p><p>Still, some have already said the current iteration has been useful.</p><p>“The shuffle option on Netflix is perfect for my indecisive ass,” <a href="https://twitter.com/noahdoesntknow/status/1282886069667524609" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">says one Twitter user</a>. “NETFLIX HAS ADDED A SHUFFLE BUTTON! WE DONT HAVE TO SCROLL FOR 45 MINS THINKING FOR OURSELVES ANYMORE,”&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/BarstoolChief/status/1281770834277937154" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">adds another</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
