Has anyone felt that Netflix’s UI has deteriorated massively?

I’ve had it on appleTV for several years. It used to be really easy to browse and find content.

But they’ve completely changed the app and now I feel you either need to know what to specifically look for, or happen to find something in the random “suggestions since you’ve watched X” on the main menu which are a fairly random set of X’s.

They even (as far as I can tell) got rid of the helpful list of alternate suggestions when you select a specific movie.

I don’t understand the need for insane UI’s, do companies feel they must make major UI changes so it looks like they’re not stagnating?

Another theory someone said about their complicated UI is that they perhaps massively reduced the size of the available library, and a convoluted UI hides this fact.
