To be fair, Netflix is less interested in that you liked the thing itself, and more interested in the attributes of the films you liked or watched to the end. Note, this is based on an article from 2014 [1], but a good read nonetheless.
Right, but they don't ask me what I like about it. Judging by their recommendations they certainly aren't discerning it well.
Netflix is interesting because their content is pretty bad (compared to say IMDB they have very few movies); recommendations are incredibly useful to pretend its library is much larger than it actually is.
I wonder why they didn't go the amazon route of actual reviews + semantic analysis.
Mostly I just hate cross referencing netflix with reviews to figure out if it's worth my time.
