Is it possible that this would bias the data so much that it would undermine the contest results?

- jrockway 17y agoPerhaps, but Netflix is already biasing the data. The movies that a user sees depends on their current recommendation algorithm, and that depends on data that is suggested to the user. (When you go to rate a movie, Netflix suggests a rating on top of the widget you use to make your rating. How many users decide to agree with the suggestion instead of making their own decision?)
