I've been getting increasingly frustrated at Netflix, because it keeps recommended things I have already seen, or definitely do not want to see. Having to keep scrolling through unwanted content like that really reinforces just how dumb it is, despite all these claims about their intelligence.

Eventually I did figure out that on the website you can say you aren't interested in particular items, but Android/Roku etc do not have that option. Of course those Netflix employees who work on this stuff deal with the PC/web based interface all the time, but apparently don't realise that not everyone does that.

Android/Roku etc do let you set ratings on items, but to me there is a big difference between "I am not interested in this item" and "I have watched it and give it one star".
