More than 10 years ago I dropped Google Search because my searches were enshitified and bubble wrapped and quotes stop to matter so it became impossible to escape the bubble.

As the saying goes, it happened before and will happen again : it now the turn of DuckDuckGo to enshitify my searches by bubblification and ignoring quotes.

Also, not interested in IA chatbot, I prefer multiple sources and to cross-check the information myself, thank you.

What alternatives are you using / recommending ?

Netflix makes reports since 2023 showing how much engagement everything in their catalog gets. This joins together all those into one report.

Most surprising to me: 1. What a mega-hit KPop Demon Hunters was. The #2-5 ranked movies got ~500M hours viewed each, KPop Demon Hunters got 1081M. 2. How big old content is. Suits from 2011 is the #2 show on Netflix. Grey's Anatomy starting in 2005 is #3. Gilmore Girls from 2000 #4. 3. The "scale effect" where releasing a new season of a show engenders massive viewing of previous seasons. Stranger Things season 5 got 880M hours of viewing in H2 2025 when it released. But it caused 1200M additional hours of viewing of seasons 1-4. 4. Massive popularity of movies I had never heard of. Leave the World Behind, a movie I had never heard of, was the #2 movie of the last three years. It got ~100 minutes of watchtime per Netflix subscriber. Of the top 10 movies I had only heard of 3.

This was vibe-coded, so could be incorrect, especially in details. I think the overall results of the report are correct in terms of # of hours watched since 2023, though. Reproduction script: girl.surgery/netflix_engagement/reproduce.py.
