This is fine (although not particularly in harmony with Netflix's business goals), but I think it's also a recipe for stagnation.
My question is: how do you discover new things that you might like even more?
I think about this more in terms of music than movies, but maybe it applies to many media.
Some people will listen to Aerosmith and The Eagles until they die. They do not need media discovery. But how do new artists find an audience and how does that audience find new artists?
Recommendation engines suck, but is this a failure of current implementations, or something more fundamental?
- liendolucas 3y agoI do use the IMDB recommender but is rarely my first choice. I'm not entirely disconnected from recommendations, but I do take my time to pick what to see (by reading some critics you can also get related content). If it's something interesting and maybe not so similar to something that I've recently seen I consider watching it. I guess that at some point yes, you need to have some source where to pick things from. With music sometimes can get easier, you listen a band then learn that maybe a guitarist or bassist is now part of another project (or has been in a past band). Going to Wikipedia and starting with a band you're interested in you can get a ton of new music this way. Other times simply if you're listening something you like you can use Shazam.
