my personal experience with the Netflix algorithm: it may think it knows what i would be interested in watching but maybe 50/50 at best

Posted by: slipping jimmy (a.k.a mickpix) on Mar 30, 12:22 in response to Moviesnob's post I wrote some more about Netflix & old ideas about how...

in terms of what it seems to actually recommend or feature on the front selection page.

mostly it just seems to recommend/feature a lot of the same titles just under many different niche categories and pretends that it's all based on my past viewing habits.  

but i never feel like Netflix actually *knows* what i might want to watch next for any given title

I wrote some more about Netflix & old ideas about how movies can be good/bad dont apply on a platform that doesnt need traditional marketing Moviesnob Mar 30, 11:42

Great article and totally agree! Man, what I'd give to have access to their internal data. {nm} numbersix_99 Mar 30, 12:18

Would love to see how Annihilation (Netflix premiere internationally) fared against something like Cloverfield Paradox {nm} numbersix_99 Mar 30, 12:18

ha ha, they'll never tell {nm} slipping jimmy Mar 30, 12:23

Annihilation's exit polls in the US were A LOT better than I expected. It got a C cinemascore which has basically its comScore rating too. Moviesnob Mar 30, 16:49

also, what i generally want to watch (good/great features) seems to overlap with the kind of content they've pulled back drastically on slipping jimmy Mar 30, 12:27

you're likely a more discerning subscriber than most {nm} Moviesnob Mar 30, 16:44

Thought on that inside. DTravel Mar 31, 10:40

Netflix recommended Donnie Darko one time... cause I had watched Babe {nm} RazorHawk Mar 31, 11:11

Netlfix's recommendations are mostly based on similar viewing habits with lots of others. Similar content is a smaller part of it Moviesnob Mar 31, 11:34

I hope it didn't also recommend kids watch Donnie Darko after watching Babe! {nm} tealfan Mar 31, 14:29
