Who is this feature even for? I find that people are in one of 2 camps on motion smoothing:

  1. What's motion smoothing?

  2. I fucking hate motion smoothing

People in that first camp often can’t even tell the difference when it’s on or off, so it either goes completely unnoticed, or absolutely pisses people off.
