They also actively pigeon hole users into a small portion of their content, they've been stripping away all search and discovery functionality over the years. They are going down the route of "our algorithm is perfect and knows exactly what you want so why would you want to do anything else"

I bet there's a ton of content you'd actually enjoy that Netflix will never recommend to you because it's outside of what the algorithm thinks you want to see

I keep thinking about this, big tech companies and their recommendation algorithms that keep getting worse and recommending you content you don't actually care about but is designed to keep you on their platform is probably one of the biggest bullshit they come up with.

maybe I should write about this in longform next week
