Right - I just feel like it takes things entirely too far. Not every signal deserves a boost that takes a certain genre of suggestions up to 11.
These recommendation systems need to be a bit less zealous; I like black pepper, too, but that doesn't mean I want a huge bowl of black peppercorns in cream sauce for dinner.

- ryacko 7y agoPeople tend to look up movies not by theme, but by actor or director. Could Netflix be okay with categories that don’t fill up entire screens?
- isbjorn16 7y agoThat blows my mind; I never would have considered people would focus on the actors or the director. Until you said it I don't once thing I ever even considered the possibility! I'm kinda floored right now.
- ryacko 7y agoActors or directors are a decent indicator of quality. Recently I’ve found that old actors in mid-budget productions have the best overall quality.
