They are probably determining this directly on when someone is watching a show, which shows, etc.

  I can only watch shows they recommend though! You get stuck in a local maxima with no way to escape. God help you if you watch a WWII documentary. I so rarely find a title I search for that I don't bother with that anymore.

    > I can only watch shows they recommend though! That's not true at all. You can absolutely browse by genre, actor, etc.

      not on my smart tv (tizen), or at least not in any sensible way.

      It's still heavily colored by your history. Using someone else's Netflix was really an eye opener. This new algo driven world is stifling.

    Sometimes I search for a genre, minor actor, or just a random word. I almost always find something I'd like to watch.

      Really? Because today, August 19th 2018, I search for Sci-Fi films and get like 20 totals results. Moon is not even in the Sci-Fi Genres for f*s sake. None of the greaty Sci-Fi indie films I used to get recommended to me 4 years ago even show up in a Sci-Fi search. Netflix has truly succumbed to their hiring/firing practices IMHO.

        Did you browse the sci-fi directory or did you do a word search on "Sci-Fi." I went to the directory and Moon was the first title in the list.
