Eh, I dunno. We have netflix service, and wildly different tastes. And considering that my sweetie handles SATA and networking driver stuff for linux, he's tech savvy enough to figure out the queues. He actually mentioned them to me once - we just decided they were more trouble than they're worth. We like chatting about what we're going to watch next, and we probably fiddle with our queue a couple times/week. It just feels more collaborative and family-like that way. We're not hyper-focused on who gets what allotment of how many movies we can have at a time. But I suppose you could just chalk that up to a couple of myers-briggs 'P' types :)
Heh, that makes sense. I wasn't really thinking of users like you -- more people like my parents, for whom there was a bit of a learning curve. Still, the MBTI P is a legitimate point that I hadn't considered, nor the collaborative effort on what's coming next.
We have a grown up list and a kids list. We get 2 grown up movies and one for the kids. That way the kids can keep it and watch it 500 times and not hold up MY movies, or they can send it back right away and not have to wait another 3-4 movies until another kid friendly title arrives. I think it's a great idea! if it's screwing with their programming, they need to hire better developers!
Yep. We started off with one queue, and then found out that our schedules differ enough that we were holding up each other's movies, so we branched out. Your list strategy sounds very sensible and logical to me!
