This. The variety has gone down and the suggestion algos (for me at least) have gotten worse.
- Semaphor 8y ago> the suggestion algos (for me at least) have gotten worse. They were ever good? At least for me, and with spending a lot of time rating, telling Netflix which genres I liked and which I disliked resulted in Netflix recommending I watch series of genres I explicitly told it I didn't want. Their recommendations always were as bad as Amazon's which is to say the dumbest possible implementation (at least for usefulness for me as a viewer, I assume they both have reasons for it)
- vict00ms 8y agoTheir suggestion algorithm was fantastic in the pre-/early-streaming days.
- echelon 8y agoThe suggestions are terrible. There is too much awful garbage on Netflix. I don't want to waste my time with it, but it's right there--presented front and center. I can't count how many times I've started something only to exit it within the first few minutes. Or never made a choice in the first place. I'd prefer a service with a few really good shows. Something a la carte.
