The whole "a machine decides what I watch"-thing scares me a bit. It creates a world where people only listen to the exact thing they like. Like a reddit/HN echo chamber, but instead of being designed for communities, it is tailored to one person. An individual echo chamber. Of course it is nice to listen to music we love and to see movies that fit our past viewing experience, but what about putting some plain randomness in there too. Wikipedia has a "random article" button. The online content world is not random enough.
