"Watchlist" implies streaming

Now that IMDb offers titles to stream directly from the title's page, the name "Watchlist" implies that the title is available to Watch.

 

_I_ know that button actually means it is NOT available, but newcomers don't. On dedicated streaming sites (Amazon Video, for example), they get a more direct message that the title is NOT available.

 

I think IMDb needs to make it clearer that it has No Watch Options Available, to prevent so much confusion. It seems at least once or twice a day the forum gets a message from a user about this. Imagine how many more are confused/frustrated and DON'T post here.

 

(If you are not a staffer, please do NOT move this post to another type/category/topic.)

I already did. In fact, my vote appeared to be the first.
