Comment on Artwork Personalization at Netflixparent

Comments

I'm genuinely curious why? When I sit down to watch a movie I'm usually pretty sure if I want something with explosions or something with jokes or something with feels, is that atypical? Do you want pitch perfect and the green mile in the same set of recommendations?

I really just don't want any recommendations. They suck. Their algorithm has no idea what I want to watch. Maybe a list of things highly rated by other human beings that I could filter by genre would work. And not just other humans who've watched the same things I have.

But as the the immediate point, guess I'm just paranoid. I want to watch movies without data nerds peering through my windows, is that so wrong? I would very much like to be excluded from their preferences dataset entirely, but as an alternative I'll settle for just not watching stuff.
