Fix Netflix

tl/dr

Obviously it’s not like EVERYthing Netflix produces is crap, but I think Sun is correct that shows get buried in their firehouse approach
So if one can’t easily find quality shows, it’s really a kin to not having them
Plus the algorithm seems calibrated to pushing shows hey think are going to be popular- before they changed the rating system, if Netflix said there was a 92% chance I’d like the show, I took that bet bc it was usually correct, now? No

Yeah, their algorithm is trash. It hides so much content to the point that even if you know the name of the thing you are looking for and search for it, it will not come up. I know this because I searched on two different profiles and the thing I was looking for came up on one not the other. Plus, the algorithm is trash since, as you said, it pushes stuff it wants you to watch more than stuff you would like. And, yes, the old rating system was much better.
