Sounds like Netflix needs to take a lesson from Valve and let its customers do the curation for them.

- rocky1138 11y agoI've been really impressed with Netflix's automatic suggestion algorithm. It frequently guesses my rating correctly and shows me movies that I do actually find interesting.
- protonfish 11y agoI have had a completely different experience. I like well-made movies, and am less picky about genre. It seems like if I rate a movie well, they suggest a poor movie of the same basic formula.
- MichaelGG 11y agoWow. They routinely recommend bad for me. I even tried going along with a lot of their suggestions. Spent a day trying that out. It sucked. Now they show up in my "Continue Watching" list which requires going into preferences to remove. Now, Netflix doesn't even pretend to recommend good stuff. The "Recommended For You" sort gives me items that Netflix itself suggests I will rate 1-star. I must sort by rating to see the better stuff. And even then, most of the top items I've already seen. I cancelled. I used to pay Netflix (before streaming) while not receiving any DVDs. The recommendations were good enough for me to decide what to download. Not so much now.
- rocky1138 11y agoMaybe the algorithm is different here in Canada? I wonder why we're getting so different of results.
- 2xlbuds 11y agoGreenlight has widely been seen as a failure in the gaming community though. Steam users have been sold on hype and greenlit games only to get unfinished buggy messes all too often.
