I was having this problem so i turned off test participation and it started asking if i was still watching.
Yes i m still watching. Although some users believe the prompt benefits the service s customers others suspect it actually helps netflix save. Essentially netflix doesn t want you to lose your place while watching a show or be responsible for wasting your data. Netflix checks roughly every 1 5 hours or the closest approximation for hour long shows it s a sleep timer and often contrasts with some of the shows that are presented on netflix.
Finally a way to stop netflix from asking if you re still watching. You need to actively engage with netflix s video player controls or turn off the autoplay feature permanently. Original poster 1 point 3 years ago. Continue this thread level 1.
If you watch 2 episodes of a tv show in a row without using any video player controls a screen prompt appears that asks are you still watching we do this so you don t lose your place or use internet data if you re not actually watching. But on numerous other occasions the netflix prompt can be an annoyance. 1 point 4 years ago. A new remove from row button.

The reason netflix does this is to make sure you are still actually watching the show and not letting it run in the background. So to avoid the still watching prompt you ll have to engage with the app. This mechanic means that if you fall asleep watching netflix it only passes an episode or two and not the entire season. I ll be watching sons of anarchy which are 45 50 minute episodes then trailer park boys which are about 20 minutes and it ll always ask after the third show.
