Smart collections and gatekeeping.
Plex allows me to set up smart collections and shuffle, so every time I open the app (or refresh it), I have a random short list of shows in my library that I haven’t watched yet.
That, and there was some weird glitch where it would progressively use up more memory on my server until it crashed. I checked the forums and the threads about it were elitist and toxic.
So I figured I’d check back in a few years rather than deal with superusers.
Edit: Someone saw themselves in my comment and didn’t like it.






Haven’t seen Doki mentioned yet. It’s the official successor to Kotatsu.
Kotatsu-Redo is a fork by a new guy. At this stage, they’re basically the same, so I’m waiting it out.
