Seriously, what use is there for a 17k watchlist?

I think you are right but this is not what it states on the advance settings per the screenshot I provided above.

as justin said it will show you your total number of items in your collection. your watchlist will mirror this unless you are literally adding individual episodes to your watchlist. i could only see that happening when using third party apps or software that aren’t adding the items correctly. again if you add the simpsons to your watchlist it counts as one item unless you go through and add each episode individually

justin replied regarding collection, not watchlist. To quote: “No, this would count as 1 show in your collection when calculating your limit. Your collection page…”

Watchlist and collection are two separate things…

The watchlist means only the list of shows you want to watch(not the shows you are already watching), so if you add only the shows there(not the episodes or seasons), it will count as 1 item. Like yours, for example, only has 82 itens right now.
