A controversial observation might be they maximize profit by having the most people sign up and then stream the least possible, correct? And they have a semi-monopoly, correct, where theres no real competition? I mean, I have and use Prime but I don't seriously watch videos and I'm in it for the shipping...
Anyway there's this assumption that they'd want to present results that encourage you to watch as much as possible, yet they have a financial incentive to present results that are just barely good enough that you won't cancel and/or sign up for a minor competitor.
This is NOT like a public library card catalog where next years funding depends on increasing circulation counts.
In some ways I think my proposed search result criteria are more difficult than presenting result I'd actually want.
