Interestingly enough, I can access this link, but their startpage has no way to get there as far as I can tell. I can relate to the screencapped statement though. The TV shows list is even worse. But maybe Netflix just doesn’t have a whole lot of great stuff, dunno.
Didn’t try to find it on their homepage, I just googled the link.
Also, I see at least ONE movie I can relate to, and 3 or 4 I haven’t watched but would probably enjoy.
I’m so disconnected I don’t even have Netflix or any other streaming service
What’s television? Is it that thing boomers use?
TV and streaming sucks. Movies suck. I’ve seen so many of them in the past that there’s really nothing new out there that’s any good any more because it’s all just rehashing and reimagining the past. Same with gaming. Same with books. And music. We’re so buried under a ton of entertainment that we can just stop making new entertainment and watch everything done in the past and still have enough to last us our entire lifetime. So what’s the point? If we’re going to have streaming, give us everything old – EVERYTHING – for a very low cost or free with limited ads and stop making new shit for your platform, all on one service.
sounds like you only focus on pop culture bullshit.
try getting into shit that isn’t designed to entertain you. classics, art films, art music, etc
I hear this a lot and do understand the sentiment but oh man in the last 3-4 years there have been so many great original and lower budget not blockbuster movies that have come out it’s great. Horror has really had a renaissance in the last 3 years with fresh ideas and plenty of new actors who are very good. It’s just not the things that are ever advertised a ton and probably have to scrounge through trailer YouTube’s to find them or sign up for newsletters. Some examples from recent years are Barbarian (2022), Infinity Pool (2023), Monkey Man (2024), The Holdovers (2023) and Perfect Days (2024).
Browsing YouTube while logged out is 1,000 times worse.
This is where I feel like an absolute alien
the absolute blessing of never seeing Mr. Beast’s face whenever I am signed in.
And the sheer amount of weird pseudo-reality-show-shovelware! Good grief, people! If you want made up content that’s supposed to look like the real thing, watch porn!
I didn’t even know who he was until recently. I don’t even understand why he’s popular.
Fast paced editing and the novel experiences possible by being rich
Children
His early videos that got him popular were insane and novel. I watched them from curiosity. As for why he’s still… I have no idea. I don’t know anyone who watches him. It can’t just be kids.
You underestimate kids and their amount free time.
but someone’s buying all the merch
I didn’t mean to imply it’s all kids. Just that they can be the majority. Regardless, parents buy stuff for their kids all the time. You think adults are buying tons of hot wheels and barbies for themselves?
As a childless millennial, yes.
You underestimate kids’ ability to manipulate their parents to buy things
That’s the kids parents for their kids.
I’m a grown ass man and love his videos because they’re light-hearted and generally wholesome. Like where he rescued 100 dogs from kill shelters and helped get them adopted. But some of the more recent ones are just wasteful or dumb.
Roblox has completed its long-awaited direct listing on the NYSE, with shares closing at $69.47 for a fully diluted value of $45.3 billion—a gargantuan valuation for a video game company that rose to prominence and saw massive growth during the pandemic
Why exactly can’t it just be kids?
I think Roblox has more adult players than Mr. Beast has adult viewers
I don’t watch him or any top YouTubers, but many other clickbait thumbnails are far worse and more annoying with their shocked “YouTube face”…
They don’t show any recommendations when you’re logged out
I like how they actually removed suggestions on the home page on the first time you visit logged out. I never click on anything on the home page suggestions and most of the stuff there is garbage, so it’s actually refreshing just to see a blank home page.
This is how I use. At least any rabbit hole is started by me.
It’s still garbage, but you’re 100% correct about it being 1000x worse logged out, at least it’s like that for me.
I started getting a shitload of recommended videos based off an app I played for 5 minutes and deleted.
I never looked it up on youtube or google, and I didn’t even search for it in the play store, I just saw it listed as similar to a different game that I did look up.
And after a week of constantly telling them to stop recommending me these videos because I don’t like them, I’m still seeing them.
Again, played the app for a few minutes and deleted, have now spent more time telling youtube to stop showing it to me than I spent playing.
Yup… I don’t get.
I never trusted that list from the getgo. Why wouldn’t they use it to promote certain content? It would be wasted opportunity if they didn’t.
Because they already have paying users.
They want engagement, which for Netflix means looking at what seems popular and promoting those.
But most likely not.
Godzilla minus one is currently dominating that and I absolutely agree with that choice!
My mom was describing some show to me saying I should watch it and I was just thinking “that sounds awful”
Godzilla Minus One instantly hitting #1 restores my faith in humanity… a little.
Pretty damn good. However, going into it blind meant I was surprised by the subtitles. I didn’t really want to read subtitles at the time.
Buddy, it’s a Japanese movie made in Japan, by Japanese people, wtf did you expect?
Dubbing?
It has a dub, so idk why that guy didn’t just watch that
What part of ‘blind’ do you not understand? I only knew the name of the movie.
Remember when Netflix had a million dollar competition to improve their recommendation system by something like 10%? Remember when they had user ratings and reviews? Remember when they threw it all in the fucking trash?
The original recommendation engine was amazing. Showed me stuff I loved that I would have never found myself. My favorite example is the French claymation acid trip called “A Town Named Panic”
Now all I get recommended are shows that are cancelled and that I’ve already watched.
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.
It wasn’t long after they “improved” the recommendation engine that I set up my Plex server so I guess it was successful?
Maximize subscriptions, minimize actual watch time.
That was a great film, very charming and bizarre
I watched it because it was the top pick in children’s movies and ended up enjoying it more than my kids. I rewatch it every few years because it’s just so weird and good.
Another one is the TV show Oscar’s Oasis. It has no dialog, but a very Coyote-and-Roadrunner feel. My kids loved it and it was actually pretty funny.
But when we were at Disney World we ended up sitting next to a family from Brazil who knew very little English and their kids were watching Oscar’s Oasis and my kids immediately joined them.
Think Panique au village was Belgian. Great watch yes.
That was such a glorious time. I recall they even held a competition at one point to develop a recommendation algorithm that could predict whether or not someone would enjoy Napoleon Dynamite
Pepperidge farm remembers
Sometimes it shows a new release I’ll watch. In fact, the list is basically just a list of what is new, like sorting by “hot”.
PSA: The top 10 lists are 100% bought and paid for, or pushed by the streaming service in question.
Absolutely. Ever since shitflix removed the star ratings and reviews that were done by real people, I stopped believing any of that “top list” bullshit.
oh my how scandalous
‘Top 10 highest Netflix bribes’.
You know I’ve worked on these sorts of bullshit features (under protest) as a developer (special sorting algorithms that bump up the score of monetized entries over organic (aka real) ones) and somehow I never stopped to think that everyone was likely doing the same.
Naivety, I guess
Something like this?
SELECT * FROM content ORDER BY (views + bribe) DESC;
The new payola… payolix?
Or the top 10 of the charts iTunes?
Ah yes, Atlas, the bootleg titanfall movie
It was still kinda fun for a couple hours.
The comments here are enlightening. In a dismaying sort of way.
It seems nothing drives a wedge between all people in a community than algorithms like the Netflix Top Ten. Everybody eyeing everyone else with suspicion, when actually no one is actually watching that crap.
It would be pretty stupid if our our movie preferences were basis for hostility.
Yeah sometimes when I am bored out of my mind I used to troll Star Wars subreddits or Harry Potter but like never 100% serious. It was always only about this perverse enjoyment of riling people up and nothing more. I wouldn’t do it on Lemmy but like Reddit i don’t care, it can die.
Come to think about it this is the only way I use Reddit for since some time hm… not that I encourage it but maybe. In my eyes you are still an angel if you troll on Reddit but are cultured pro social on Lemmy.
I wanna take a minute to plug criterion channel. Objectively the value is worse than Netflix. But they have an amazing collection of films nonetheless. I put their 24/7 channel on and just watch whatever is on. Never in a million years thought I would be into classic French cinema.
On a side rant fuck the French and their films! They drop you right into a situation with no clear good or bad guys. The films have meandering plots that go nowhere because why would they!?!? At the end there’s no resolution, just an empty chasam in your soul you’ve somehow overlooked your entire existence. And the worst part is they just put “fin” up on the screen and that’s that. Fuckin foreign nonsense
There’s all sorts of treasures, may be worth a peek.
The villain in French films is the villain in every film: the French!
Man I miss when they were part of Hulu
