Disney Plus has grown big enough to need a top 10 list

Disney Plus is introducing a top 10 list on its home screen to improve content discoverability as its library has grown significantly over the years. The feature is similar to those found on competing services like Netflix and Apple TV Plus. The ranking takes into account various factors, including total views, episode and movie level views within a day, and the growing popularity of new titles. Views are a component but not the sole determining factor of what gets featured on the list. The list also considers age-ratings, ensuring that R-rated movies are not shown to users with parental settings in place. This feature is a sign of Disney Plus' maturation, which has evolved from a limited library to a vast collection of content. The service has expanded to include original shows and movies, as well as integrated content from Hulu. With a growing library, finding new episodes of shows like Agatha All Along or Bob's Burgers can be challenging, making this feature a welcome addition. The timing is also opportune, with several big series set to debut on the platform soon. Overall, the top 10 list aims to make it easier for users to discover new content on Disney Plus.
