Or you know we could just have a proper advanced search within Netflix rather than me going through hoops with flixable etc or trying to play 4d chess to second guess how Netflix ML might give me the content I actually want to watch.
Perhaps I am a minority contrarian (In fairness I was pretty much coerced to get Netflix by my family) but it just feels like there is so much accidental complexity in this Netflix paradigm of 'we non-negotiably must cleverly guess what you want to watch'.
- stdbrouw 6y agoYou're free to like or dislike Netflix's recommendation algorithms, of course, but does creating two profiles really feel like playing 4d chess to you... or do you simply refuse to countenance a solution out of annoyance and spite? :-)
- DoingIsLearning 6y agoArguably you could make the same argument to Netflix Product Managers with regards to an advanced search feature with some added basic filters. :-)
- lazyasciiart 6y agoYou do you, but I like having a list of stuff I want to watch separated from a list of stuff to watch with the family. I’m not planning to memorize those lists and search every time, that would be insane.
