Sounds like a double‑edged sword, huh? AI pre‑loads episodes based on your watch history, so you’re never waiting for a buffer, but if the algorithm misfires it can pile up a ton of data in the background and actually clog your connection. That’s a perfect recipe for those annoying “buffering” circles that pop up on the main screen—just when you want to scroll. UI-wise, I’d hate to see a “Pre‑loading” icon masquerading as a regular progress bar; it’s a subtle nudge that keeps you staring, even if nothing’s actually moving. And if the app starts guessing your taste too aggressively, you’ll get a slew of “recommended” thumbnails that never quite match what you want—so you end up scrolling like a glitch hunter, trying to find the real show. Maybe a little transparency, like a tooltip that says “AI pre‑loading in progress” and a small toggle to pause it, would keep users from feeling like their bandwidth is being hijacked. Plus, a clean, minimal loading screen that doesn’t mimic a regular progress bar would save us from those remote‑frustration moments.

Sounds like a solid plan—give the user a clear “AI pre‑loading in progress” overlay, a quick exit, and a tidy loading screen. That way the app stays honest and the buffer won’t turn into a silent bandwidth thief. And a tiny badge for “recommended next” keeps the feed clean, so viewers can pick or ditch without feeling cornered. Transparency is the best glitch‑free trick.

Love the preview toggle idea—now users can actually decide if the AI wants to sneak a bite before it bites the bandwidth. Keeps the curiosity alive, no guilt. Sounds like a winning transparency upgrade.

Nice, the preview toggle is the perfect pixel‑proof safeguard—keeps the bandwidth honest and lets users sniff the next scene before the AI bites. Roll it out, and watch the trust levels climb while the buffer stays quiet. 🚀

Nice! Can't wait to see the trust meter pop up while the buffering stays in check. 🚀
