I read it as "stop asking me the same thing over and over again, I've already told you". It's a shame that the no doubt hundreds of UX people at Netflix are so sloppy.

I think a bit of both.

The last two paragraphs talk about "harried parents", and "world doesn't revolve around children." sounds like having kids is a burden and resentful of the impact of people having kids on his life.

Its quite a lengthy rant about a minor UI inconvenience.

There is also a problem with the "never ask again" option. How long is never? Someone who does not have children now might well in a few years time.

LOL, next you're going to infer the author is a childless cat lady, who started regretting not having children.

It's quite a lengthy rant about prioritizing everytime inconvenience over a setting switch that could be enabled once, after a few years time.

World doesn't revolve about your children (or mine. And yes, I have them and yes, this is one of these mildly infuriating UX decisions).

Then I don't think you read it very clearly. This is about a prompt that keeps coming back, even though it's always going to be ignored. Every prompt is a branch which quickly gets frustrating.

Putting it into a programming context. Imagine you're a C++ developer. Wouldn't it be annoying if your text editor asked you every time you opened a project if you actually wanted to use Python instead.

Python devs needing to be sheltered from mature C++ themes?

Checks out I guess.

Well, yeah, or else they'll release software with memory leaks, which could become a dependency of some big project and bring down some important things and have real effects on some other people.

Or, yeah, because if my child can access streaming without a child lock, they may not recover from what they see.

Looks like we should protect each other as much as we can, using UI!
