Discovery channel complaint: Inability to remove items from Continue Watching can contribute to abuse

Open 156 views Broadcasting Network

Simply put, we cannot remove any shows that we have watched (or had the misfortune to have continued WITHOUT us clicking on it because it just loads a similar program WITHOUT PERMISSION).

Here are two examples of how this can contribute to abuse.

A. I am a former victim of domestic abuse, verbalemotionalphysical, my ex would berate me for watching shows he thought were brainless or waste of time he monitored my TV shows. If I had had Discovery plus at the time, he would have checked it daily to see which shows I watched so he could attack me with it.

B. My gradndaughter is TRAUMATIZED when she shees the scary images or names of or words from some of the ghost and crime shows that we watch. She has nightmares and anxiety and we cannot watch Discovery Plus when she is here.

This is ridiculous because we have a list in which we can keep tabs of what we want to watch. (Another ridiculous thing is that things drop off after a certain time, even if we still want to watch it but have not had time to get back to it.) All our other streaming services have a way to remove them.

This is about people and mental health. And it is not ok what Discovery is doing out of laziness because I know they have had complaints.

Please fix this NOW!
