    But

    1. the quality of the shows isn’t necessarily positive

    and

    1. the free time you have to watch TV isn’t increasingly with the price

      True, quantity isn’t better than quality, but it may cover more interests and cater to a larger customer base, but who are we kidding.

      To me it feels Netflix doesn’t have enough signal in the noise. The recommendations rarely deviate from what they generally suggest to customers or my niche just doesn’t have enough shows to watch.

      But I’m not sure Netflix actually knows my favorite genres and how they might be combinable. It just suggests general Shonen anime, when I only watch some specific genres of shows regardless whether they are Japanese, animated or neither.

      I dunno, can’t be that hard to zero in on my tastes or it doesn’t matter to them that much after all. Who knows.

        For me, part of the issue is Netflix doesn’t remember for long enough what I have recently watched. All too often its recommendations are filled with things I’ve already watched, making it more difficult to find anything new.

        To make it worse, they can be really annoying with different cover art. All too often the recommendations will include something with an unfamiliar cover art that I “haven’t” seen, only to realize that I did see it recently but under a different cover art or preview scene.
