Ask HN: How can Netflix and Amazon Prime be this bad at recommending content?
5 by roboy | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I’ve literally spent 20 minutes for the xth time in a row looking for anything that remotely captures me on both platforms and in the end did not watch anything. I’ve spent hundreds of hours binging series and movies on both platforms, but neither seems able to use this to suggest anything I like. I’ll probably cancel at least Netflix. It would be so easy: - Store series I‘ve watched, show me new seasons when they release. - neither does it reliably. - Don’t keep suggesting things I have watched, except in a „watch again“ category. Especially using new pictures, getting me to click on the same stuff only to realize that I have seen this already. Given the billions invested in these UIs, how can they fail so miserably? What am I missing? This makes no economic sense … or am I just a weird edge case, and this kind of UI works for the majority?
