> The thing I hate about "advice" like this is that it assumes that everyone likes the same things and feels the same way
It's so ironic that at the end you gave an advice:
> I suggest that the next time you watch a shakey-cam action movie, you try turning it on too!
Are you assuming that everyone likes the same things you like? I guess not. The same for the article—it doesn't assume that.
No advice fits everyone, but good advice fits many people. And I'd argue that the article's advice fits many, if not most, people.
TV is probably the only screen many people have that has motion interpolation on by default. They watch movies on theaters, PC monitors, laptops, tablets, and phones probably more than on TVs.
Many people are already used to what movies "look like." Non-tech-savvy ones might not know what "FPS" means, but they would likely be able to notice that watching movies on their phone feels different from on a TV with the default setting. The article's suggestion to disable motion interpolation on TVs makes the watching experience more consistent across all screens.
