Netflix is testing out a new feature for children that lets them earn “patches” for watching episodes of certain shows. The new feature gamifies the streaming experience for kids, incentivizing them to watch particular shows that Netflix has picked out, as reported by Variety.
Shows that have been selected are marked with red locks (for some unclear reason) for users who have been included in the test. Netflix has chosen films and TV shows that are all Netflix Originals, including Trollhunters, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Home, and The Magic School Bus Rides Again. You can’t actually do anything with the patches once you’ve earned them.
