Edit: this is a somewhat OT rant.

Netflix’s recommender system is hands down the worst I have ever seen. Every single thing I watch, it suggests The Queen’s Gambit and two other random Netflix productions.

Even if I watch the first of a trilogy (LotR, for example). How can they be so terrible at this?

The categories in the main browsing view are also hysterically arbitrary. It kind of looks like a topic model with back-constructed titles for the topics.

Finally, they replaced the ratings with “% matching”. I guess so they can recommend their subpar productions even if they get low ratings.
