There already exists a simple icon for "I don't want to watch this": the thumbs down button. Clicking it is supposed to remove the show from your recommendations (after a day or so, to clear the caches).
- jph 5y agoIt turns out that Netflix thumbs down conflicts with thumbs up. For example, pick a movie that you like, yet don't ever want to watch on Netflix; perhaps you've already seen the movie on a different service. Do you click thumbs up ("I like this") or thumbs down ("Not for me")? Next, if you watch some of the movie, then it shows up in your "Currently Watching" list, with icons for thumbs up ("I like this but don't want to continue watching"), thumbs down ("I don't like this"), and a broom ("Just cleaning up"). What I am suggesting as an experiment is a choice that means "I like this but don't want it on my main page".
