I don't like it. It's too binary for me. What if I don't begrudge the suggestion, but wouldn't seek out something like that? Do I upvote it? Downvote it? Nothin

In the same vein, I'd be interested to see how netflix incorporate watch times. If I watched 5 mins and then down voted, what happens? Will I never see that genre again? What if I just stopped watching? Will netflix consider that a bad suggestion? What if I watched the whole thing but still didn't vote? What then?
IMO moving from a 5 point system where I can explicitly set 3-4 stars on acceptable shows to this new binary system only obfuscates the process. I can understand /why/ they changed, they want user feedback, but I don't see how the misconception of the stars broke the feature, or why they couldn't have just invested in teaching people what it was all about.
It may just be the developer in me, but I don't like the feeling of having the "functionality" moved behind something portraying it as nebulous "magic"
