Mimicking so many aspects of modern human existence—in which we all typically just sort of pretend to grapple with rising complexity and choices for a few minutes, before throwing up our hands and letting the chaos decide for us—Netflix is reportedly testing out a couple of new features that would inject a little randomness into our streaming video experience.
