I have to agree on that - it seems like forcing a show/movie to a user even if that does not align with their mood or historic picks. I am not interested at all in shows like Inventing Anna or Tinder Swindler or Selling Sunset but I have to still cope with them showing that moving banner ad like that covering so much real estate.
What I would like to see is, semantic search where I could elaborate the shows/movies I'd like to search for: "A classic movie starring Tom Cruise and directed by Steven Spielberg" and Netflix shows me "War of the Worlds" in search results.
- Bekwnn 4y agoI'm just interested in something like a "not interested" button distinct from the thumbs down button. Netflix insists on suggesting the same shows I've never clicked for months or even years of them showing on my front page. I'd like to say, "Hey, stop suggesting this." I don't feel like Netflix lacks things to watch, I just feel it does a terrible job keeping its suggestions fresh.
- mtnygard 4y agoI'd really like to be able to say "I like this _kind_ of thing, just not this specific one." You know, just because I don't like "Valerian", I still enjoy sci-fi. Thumbs-down on a video seems to remove the whole category.
- dont__panic 4y agoIt is very similar to how Spotify tanked their platform for my use -- at some point, I'm a paying customer, and I get annoyed when you constantly shove your original content down my through regardless of how much it matches my preferences. You just can't start a service with recommendations as part of your sell... and then bastardize those recommendations into advertisements or original content-pushers. Paying customers eventually lose patience.
