    I don’t get why the streaming services would care what media people watch. Are they pushing stuff that is cheaper to license?

      They want to get recommendations just good enough to keep you hooked. If they show you just the objectively best, you would instantly know after seeing the best ones, that the rest of the catalogue is worse and worse.

      This is how Netflix was in the beginning. I actually unsubscribed for a while for yhis reason. Now I’m as hooked as ever, there might still be a few good ones out there - I just need to keep scrolling for a few hours. /s

      Stuff that is actually there, the vast emptiness of the Netflix catalog is the real horror.

        80% (being generous) of Netflix is low quality Netflix produced trash they try and get you to watch so they don’t have to pay royalties or commissions to anyone.

        I gave it up years ago.
