My dad just got a Kindle Fire. And since he doesn't have a Netflix
account, I logged in as me on his Fire so he could stream whatever he
wants to watch. And he's been enjoying it a lot, watching all kinds of
things.
The problem is that now Netflix thinks I want to watch all kinds of things that I really, really don't. To be fair, that was already an
issue because My Better Half™ watches all kinds of archaeology &
nature documentaries that I couldn't care less about. But now my Netflix
recommendations are SO off it's laughable. I might enjoy Jane Eyre?
Hells to the no. Hello Dolly? Goodbye Netflix!
I like to imagine that someone was standing by some giant dot matrix
printer spitting out something like a seismograph chart that plots out
everyone's likes and dislikes and when mine came along, they noticed
something so off that they hit an alarm and are now have hired herds of
people to work around the clock to recalibrate their suggestions
algorithms.
