to most of us on these boards, and probably to a great deal of others as well. I would like to see WHO was the Musician who scored the film, The Cinematographer, Editor, Special Effects crew, the entire cast members etc. Now I'm not speaking of films at a Cinema where you can either remain in your seat or get up to leave. I'm speaking of streaming services. Amazon, HBO, and Netflix in particular. Netflix is the only one that, after about 5 seconds, the credits go into 'miniscule size' and are portioned off in a small box in the upper left corner, totally unreadable, and you've only got several seconds to read it. The screen becomes one huge 'advertisement' for films or series usually with absolutely NO connecting thread of a theme to whatever film's just ended. EXCEPT, I noticed for 'The Irishman'. And (probably) for other type films that are showcased especially for Netflix, like 'The Ballad of Buster Scruggs' or, 'The Laundromat'.
Why the cold-shoulder to every other film or series? I'd address this to Netflix, if I even thought they cared, or would consider responding, but I know they wouldn't care enough to respond. Why would Netflix be in such a hurry to get you to see something else immediately? They've got your money already.

You can choose to view the credits. You even have a countdown clock to tell you how much time you have before it goes to the next thing.

On the other hand, many of the network shows that I watch on my cable's On Demand service play the end credits and musical theme full screen and without an overlay of network promos for upcoming shows. This is most likely to happen when viewing episodes that are a few weeks old, where the shows that would have been touted by those promos have already aired. These On Demand showings are the first time I've been able to hear many of the shows' ending themes, which are often different (and longer) than the opening themes.
I can't remember the last time that I viewed a network show on its original broadcast date where the end credit scroll was run full screen and without promos. (I take that back. Fox usually runs the end credits for its animated shows--e.g., "The Simpsons", "Family Guy"--that way.)

The fact that (for me anyway), ONLY Netflix is doing this. Amazon Prime, and HBO-Now, do not. Why is Netflix 'getting away' with this? This brings to mind a question some of you may be able to answer? The Studios that realeased the film, The various Guilds and Unions comprising Directors, Editors, Cinematographers, and particularly the Writer's Guild's, don't they have some sort of contract that would enforce the lists of their members craftsmanship in the various end credits? I would think, that all these studios, producers and unions would have it in their contracts in the making of the films in question, that their achiements be listed and recognized.
Also, why the separate distinctions in showing ALL the credits for Netflix 'originals', i.e. 'The Irishman', 'The Laundromat' etc, but not films that aren't Netflix 'originals'? Why is there no Guild/Union/Studio legal 'push-back'?
'Marriage Story' is a new arrival as a 'Netflix Original' beginning today. It is reportedly going to figure in the end of year awards. I will view it this evening, but I'll be willing to bet ALL it's technicians and craftsmen will be listed.

Yeah, Ive been questioning that since broadcast channels started to shrink and roll the credits at light speed. You figured this would be against union rules. Maybe the loop hole is they only have to run the credits but there's no rule on them being readable! Because Ive said over and over again, if you're gonna shrink they down and speed them up then just cut the credits out of the broadcast versions.

I've been watching a lot of Netflix movies over the last week through a firestick, and that way it's run the credits on the full screen with three "if you liked that you'll like these" films highlighted at the bottom, like at the end of some YouTube videos. But you can always tab up to the top and watch the credits.
I don't know that there's a setting to disable these things entirely, but you can disable the trailers autoplaying.
From Account, in the dropdown menu for Profile And Parental Controls there's a section called Playback Settings and you can uncheck the two AutoPlay options.
https://www.netflix.com/settings/playback/ might take you straight to it.
