Maybe that is assuming their goal is to give you what (you think) you like. Their actual goal is probably closer to maximizing the ads you see while minimizing 3rd-party content licensing costs and operating costs, especially if they can calculate how to keep you paying a monthly subscription cost (you are, right?). Bonus if they can increase the ratio of `watched_netflix_content / watched_content` to juice up share value. Maybe they know exactly what you'd like, but it's never available, because Netflix doesn't want to pay the license fees to the non-Netflix rightsholders, because that cuts into Netflix's margin.
