Well, don't get your hopes up. I talked with one of the 'data science' guys at Netflix and he said that user ratings are basically completely ignored in their algorithms. Apparently a large subset of their users actually rate movies before they've seen them, so hiding rated movies would only serve to decrease views overall.
- tgb 11y agoAre they sure this isn't a matter of people having seen the videos through other means? I've rated movies I saw in theater or dvd in netflix before so that it can know me better. Guess that's a waste of time.
- merrua 11y agoI think their data science people don't really respect the users own ability from what I have heard. If someone is rating a film not seen through your platform, it should be obvious that a) they have seen it elsewhere and b) if its a 1 they dont want to see that again
