The idea of watching content at random is so outlandish to me, I would never look for the button. If I ever saw it by accident, my brain would be like: „Doesnt look like anything to me“.

It'd be more useful for individual tv shows where you can't decide which episode to put on.

Yeah, shuffle button that picks an episode of Seinfeld to watch is a good idea.

Shuffle button that picks if I want to watch through Wednesday or not is a bad idea

And yet it was a button on the first screen you see when you open the app!
