House of Cards (Netflix) - Page 11

Well that makes no sense if "Recommended for Me" is the same as "Popular on Netflix" (even though I see different content in each).

There should be a separate ribbon that specifically isn't geared towards a person's taste preferences because it can be oppressive to have every frikken thing be linked to my tastes.

Sometimes I want to see other stuff to see if I'm missing something, or if there is something in a category I usually dislike that I might want to check out. Netflix should not assume that their algorithms are better at scoping out what I like than the algorithms in my own noggin.

...and a bit more on how HoC is playing out on social media.

The season has the same profile as a big Hollywood movie, a big bump and then a steep drop to a low baseline. But the solution is not to dole out viewing - Netflix has gotten a big PR boost from turning over viewing to users and giving them the power to binge or not, as they see fit - but rather giving customers better social viewing tools, such as a way to have per-episode conversations. If those tools were available thru Netflix, so much the better. It would increase the value of Netflix and make it even harder for viewers to cancel.

My roommate says he's gonna start it now that he's finished The West Wing.

I'm thinkin' of watchin' the original BBC miniseries that's also on Netflix Instant.

Netflix says that I should watch House of Cards because I watched House of Cards...

I just think that's funny.
