I'm a subscriber for a couple weeks now, and I've run out of content I'd like to watch in my free month. The homepage is filled with stuff I'll never watch, and I can't even tell them that fact. There is no button to hide stuff. Back to piracy I go.
- ajmurmann 10y agoIt always was very interesting to me how so much bad stuff is on the front page and meanwhile there are some gems in their platform (like the top IMDB movies listed in the article) that you might never find out are there. Many years ago they made it much easier to discover content but then they did this massive redesign and made it impossible to find stuff. A few years ago I just pulled a list of movies via their API that listed movies ranked by their prediction of how much they think I will like it. That was super useful. Why doesn't Netflix do this? Meanwhile they suggest me movies they themselves predict I won't like. This is interesting to me because it's so bad that I can only conclude that they must have incentives for making suggestions to me other than me watching something I like. Do they pay licensing fees per vote? Do they pay different fees per view for different movies? I would love to know the details!
