- 0xcafecafe 7y ago>>If you liked a TV show or movie, give it a "thumbs up." If you didn't like a TV show or movie, give it a "thumbs down." True, it does affect their recommendations but still the inherent purpose of a thumbs down is to tell them I watched it but didn't like. I would love for them to provide a "not interested" option as well.
- glenneroo 7y agoConsidering Netflix's infuriating decision to reduce the 5-star rating to the thumbs-up/down, I highly doubt they'll be adding any more buttons soon. Edit: I continue to have hope that some higher-ups from Netflix are reading these comments, and someday will create a GUI for "pros" and a GUI for everyone else (as it is now), where the "pro" version allows at least some level of customization beyond this dark-pattern insanity.
