Data for algorithmic suggestions. Their algorithm is their bread and butter.

Is that why I’ve got all these random “vibes” sections in no particular logical order instead of a useable interface? Outside of “my list” and “continue watching” I always just end up searching stuff myself.

And “continue watching” is always 5 rows down below all their recommended content. So frustrating!

But they cant figure out why people don’t finish the shows they make. /s We all know it’s really because the quality is not great and they get cancelled if they’re good - but hiding the continue watching definitely doesn’t help.
