The goal isn't to give you stuff you want to watch, the goal is to do just enough that is just good enough to keep the highest amount of users subscribed. We like to think those are the same thing and they are usually aligned, but don't have to be. It's better for Netflix if you find those slower and just keep coming back to look around, kind of like some frustrating streaming gatcha game.

Maximize subscriptions, minimize actual watch time.

It wasn't long after they "improved" the recommendation engine that I set up my Plex server so I guess it was successful?
