Read an article about how Netflix stages in house CDN "boxes" directly in key ISP locations, directly on the switch. Certain high ranking shows are spread through the CDN for responsiveness. Some of the recommended shows are the ones staged close to the watcher to eliminate lag. https://about.netflix.com/en/news/how-netflix-works-with-isp...

The article you linked to doesn't say this at all.

It says almost the exact opposite; they cache shows based on the algorithm, not that they recommend shows based on what's cached.

What is the relevance to the OP’s question?
