- leros 2y agoI would imagine it's an unintended side effect of the "people recently watched this so it's relevant" part of the algorithm.
- kmeisthax 2y agoMore popular works are more likely to be enjoyable to more people. There is no really objective measure of quality for any creative work, and taste doesn't scale, so publishers bias for popularity as it's one of the few things they can understand.

- occz 2y agoI would imagine that's too insignificant to factor into that particular calculation.
