- A thumbnail is worth a thousand words.

Netflix has thousands of videos to choose from for a night (or day) of marathon watching. The problem is: how do you pick what to watch? It can be daunting searching through various titles, so much so that you may end up skipping to watch anything altogether. Netflix tries to make it easier to pick titles through personalization of their site-including the thumbnails you’ll see for every piece of content in their catalog.
With thousands of videos to choose from, and more than 130 million subscriber in 190 countries, there’s a lot of potential to create some eye-catching thumbnails according to users’ tastes. So the company uses a set of algorithms to determine what images you’re more likely to click on. It’s just one streaming service on the frontier of personalizing how content is served to its viewers. Netflix’s goal is to get you engaged with their content for as long as possible. And ever changing customizable thumbnails is just one of their methods.

Sometimes when I go on Netflix I’m like “Oh they changed the thumbnail” of a series I’m watching. Could this be that I’m watching a lot of different shows of different genres?
For me, the thumbnail changes almost every single time I go on Netflix
My thumbnails chants frequently too! Before this I just thought they changed them often for everyone
Katie S They don't?
Or they're testing a new thumbnail on you. Or maybe they're trying to draw your attention with a change. If you didn't click the first time, then a different thumbnail might work better. It's probably a very dynamic system.
I've been binge watching the same show last week and my thumbnails still change. Most of them are not really visually nice (in fact, the ones for Mad Men, in my honest opinion, suck)
I'm watching One Punch man, and Netflix suggested me Doctor Strange with a thumbnail only showing the bald lady lol
im cRYING
HAHAHAHAHA
😂😂
*watches one punch man*
*internet thinks user has fetish for bald heads*
The ancient one
I mostly watch political/ period films so no wonder my thumbnails are always of people up close and looking like they got their pet taken away from them
😂😂😂🤣
argell you better watch John Wick!!

have you watched poldark? or homeland? they’re so good ahhh
omg wait no have you watched turn: washington spies?
I feel like my “match score” is always higher for Netflix originals
That's because anytime you hear someone talking about a "company using AI", what they *actually* mean is a "company pretending to use AI to push you into a bias of whatever makes them the most money". Anyone who thinks a company's AI is "curating for you" is HOPELESSLY naive.
@@JamesR624 They are using artificial intelligence and yes, they're using it to push their original content. When Disney launches their streaming service and pulls all of their own and Fox's content, Netflix has to stand on its own against the big guys. Netflix has created a mass library of content and it's curating it's organisation, along with its thumbnails, descriptions and other promotional material to each viewer.
This is the way Netflix makes and will continue to make money, They're not tricking you in any way, It's clear what they're doing and they've made no effort in hiding it.
Word, and their originals are always in trending. You're not fooling anyone, Netflix, we know nobody's watching that
Well they also collect information to formulate the most popular shows, so it could be matched to you because it's so specifically formulated for our consumption based on statistics collected
@@skeletonizer9529 Actually, I watch more Netflix originals than anything else. They have some awesome shows, and, quite honestly, a lot of the non-Netflix stuff just isn't worth watching. What's being produced for TV is largely smutty and uninteresting with lots of gritty violence and bad langauge. No thanks! That said, Netflix produces some nasty stuff, too, but at least there is some decent content. As for old movies and shows, I have most of the ones I like on DVD and am in the process of digitizing those DVDs and loading them on a drive connected to my Roku. I don't need them to be on Netflix to be able to watch them. Honestly, the reason I keep Netflix is their original series.
That said, of *course* Netflix will push their content, and I often get ads for new shows I would NEVER watch. Is it annoying? You bet it is. I really wish there was a "hide this show" button to make shows I detest leave my feed.
Corporations are marketing geniuses and it’s kind of terrifying because they know exactly who you are and what you like and hate.
issa osama yeah because you tell them ha..it's nothing that complex
Because you constantly click on something. Patterns.
If they weren't marketing genuies you wouldn't buy anything from them in the first place. I want the company of the merchandise I buy to know what I want so I don't have to rebuy it or return it or not be interested in it at when it could have been exactly what I needed.
What Netflix is doing is making sure we find what we want to watch. if we didn't find what we want to watch we wouldn't continue paying for them. Literally Netflix has millions of options viewers can choose from internationally.
Brandon Gomez "if they weren't marketing geniuses you wouldn't buy anything from them" are you implying they can't think for themselves going off the experience you have with not being able to or saying no products are worth buying and all people would be hermits if not for marketing?
As many people have said before, "if you do not pay _for_ the product, you _are_ the product."
It's what keeps sites like Google free. How else will the Google search engine make money? All it does is show websites ads that you can barely tell are ads. But, since you live most of your internet life on Google applications, (namely, CZcams) the company has a lot of information on you that it can use to make money.
The weirdest thing my Netflix has ever done is what it did to the Shrek thumbnails. I was just searching for Shrek two, like you do, and I realized that all of my Shrek thumbnails were weirdly.... sexual......? The thumbnail for Shrek was from the scene when Farquaad is in bed looking at the princesses on the magic mirror. The specific frame is him, holding up his drink, his shirt off with the covers over him which makes him look naked, with his eyes half closed and smirking, which is a seduction face if I ever saw one. The thumbnail for Shrek Two was from the beginning of the movie when Shrek and Fiona are on their honeymoon and they’re on the beach. The frame is them in their swimsuits, staring lovingly into each other’s eyes. This one was the most romantic of the weirdly sexual Shrek covers. Finally, Shrek the Third was of a scene where Donkey wakes Shrek up at night. The frame shows Donkey at Shrek’s bedside, smiling at Shrek who is shirtless, again with the covers on him which makes him look naked.
I don’t know what this says about me but it gave me a good laugh
Let's see... I've got Shrek wearing a helmet, and that seems to be the only one that's even here...
MnMsandOreos Shrek is love, Shrek is _life_
LOL I got the same thumbnails
@@drowsiella Canada! I think I also have the fourth

The %Match is useless. Netflix needs to bring back user ratings...
I thought the match percentage is the general user rating.
@@21minute nah
For real. I always have to pull out the ratings on my phone. Didn't they get rid of ratings because of the Amy Schumer backlash?

That is. Not. Machine learning.
@@cantavukcuoglu4375 How is it not machine learning? The image selection is a pretty cool computer vision problem, and A/B testing/customized thumbnails based on watching habits is sort of like k-means problem. The only non machine learning part is creating artworks based on selected images it seems.
Don't judge a book by its cover doesn't apply anymore I guess.
Did it ever? Book covers are important to me too.
@@oof-rr5nf sucks to be you as you'd be missing out on good books. Especially since different publishers make different covers.
People say that because book covers tend to not be very good
With exceptions of course

UnitedFyodor most people judge a book by its cover to some degree both literally and figuratively at least on a subconscious level
This explains why my thumbnails are so queerbaity
I binged The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and nothing else on a month old account...all my thumbnails are horror and pretty 20-30 year olds.
oh tea
I know. The Sinner is a show about a character who murders someone for unknown reasons and a detective that tries to find out why. My thumbnail for season 2 was two girls kissing. Damn it, Netflix.
@@rominac1389 my thumbnail for the show is a boy in like a prison costume (maybe not a prison uniform it was orange tho) looking at the camera
Saaaame
Does that mean Netflix is the master of clickbait?
A Master-Baiter

But clickbate is when you use a thumbnail or title that has NOTHING to do with the video.

William Hale Yes, I’m a UX Designer and Researcher so this was a good breakdown of what I do for my job. I’m all for tailoring a good viewing experience but I can definitely understand how using race can be iffy to some when it comes to recommendations.
Rachel S you’re pretty useless since ur a UX designer. I wouldn’t even consider you a real tech person. Oh and you’re a woman lol
@@DoggoStudio *Wow, are you serious? You obviously don't know and understand the tech business if you think UX/UI designers are not tech people. UX/UI has never been more important in the history of tech. People have very less attention span, so in order for any app/website to engage the users and keep them coming back to it has a lot to do with UX/UI. There are companies which have failed just because they couldn't crack the UX. Also, many of the UX designers double as front-end developers. And being a woman is an advantage in the UX world. Women have the ability to empathize and understand the users much better than the men. And trust me, being a man, I know this first hand through both my personal and professional experiences. You are living under a rock or just watch a lot of Fox. In case, you have misunderstood, this is Vox, not Fox.*

"Why your Netflix thumbnails don't look like mine" Weird flex, but okay.

Bad meme usage

Not a flex but ok
I can remember when they just used the DVD box art.
Oh do I miss those days. Quick and snappy interface, no auto playing trailers, and no Netflix originals taking over half the screen.
I wish they still did. I have a visual impairment, text is sometimes difficult to read so I rely on knowing the basic colours and shapes of a recognisable thumbnail. The number of times I'm scrolling through my to watch list thinking "where is my favourite show, it has a blue thumbnail, I can't see it" but I've scrolled past it 3 times because the thumbnail changed and I don't recognise it.
The current interface is so busy and colourful, it's impossible to pick out individual titles and details, it's a big colourful mess.
I think they should go back to that too
I think I prefer that.
I’m glad they changed.
I think Netflix thumbnails are reducing the likelihood of finding what you actually want to watch. There have been so many times I've scrolled past a movie I've been wanting because I didn't recognise the cover image. Netflix needs to focus less on shoving content down our throats and make finding things for ourselves easier.
Sometimes I find what I'm looking for but because I passed it the first time, it changed to a less appealing thumbnail. Maybe they should have a visual preference quiz in settings? Idk
Exactly my thought! Rather than focusing on thumbnails, I think they'd be better off focusing more on making better recommendations and recommendation UI.
netflix doesnt care if we find what we want fast. for the same reason a department store doesnt want you to find your item fast. or why a casino doesnt want you to see a clock.
they care about their shareholders, not their customers. if those interest align (and they should, in a not crazy world) thats great.
if you ask a netflix statistician, they would likely say the savvy customer is statistically insignificant to our market, or even the savvy customer is mindlessly browsing >50% of the time and our algorithm works on them.
Thats how they get you, making you carefully look through all the new thumbnails, spending more time and making it more likely you’ll come across another thing to watch. You can always search by title if its really hidden or you dont want to sift through though
Am I the only one who has never had the “are you still watching” screen while I’m sometimes binge watching for hours?
same i think its because i click next episode instead of just letting it play
Me
SAME ive never gotten it.
You probably skip intros and move to next episode.. I get "are you still watching" msg when I am too lazy to move my fingers. 😅😅

now tell me why my Netflix thumbnail for ‘Lucifer’ is the main lead holding a 69 sign....
i have the same thumbnail
U know 😏🤣
Sameee
They also try to add “diverse characters” to thumbnails to make you think a show is less white than it is
HAHAH EMILY IN PARIS GO BRRRRRR
My Goodfellas page featured Samuel L. Jackson. Because I'm black. Annoying.
As a data scientist that works on image processing and machine learning this is fascinating
Assalamu alaikum
I noticed this myself because whenever I open Netflix, the thumbnail changes for every show every time
Watched one anime and now my entire Netflix page is anime
I watched 10 Anime now my entire frontpage is Furrybait and Thrillers?
Same. I watched death note yesterday and now my netflix page is full of animes
My child watched one movie on my profile and now unicorns blast my space.
Why can’t they just use the movie posters? They have all the requirements (main actors, appealing composition) and actually look good???
I think because those wouldn't be user-specialised. They mentioned users in Germany being more into abstract images so a thumbnail like that might work better than the original movie posters in some cases.
And they don't spoil Coco..... stupid netflix, spoiling coco.......
Wooooosh
I know. Sometimes it’s like the most random stuff.
Programmer here!
Movie posters are designed to have vertical emphasis, whereas Netflix thumbnails need a variety of aspect ratios (most often more square shaped). This means you would either have to stretch the original and distort it, or cut it. There's too much variation in movie poster design to reliably cut them in huge batches without doing a lot of work. They'd have to cut them down manually, OR more likely, develop programs to analyze and do the job instead.
Remember captcha tests online (silly tests to verify you're a human)? A huge reason they work is we naturally understand how to read words baked into flat images. It's too complex to be automated. Any automation to trim the original posters would need to recognize written language so as to not cut the title off, or cut it in half. It would ALSO need to be associated with the film itself. Without reliably picking up words in the title on the original posters, this would also need to be done by hand.
By making their own title cards, they have a built in association with the source film, the ability to automate selection of screenshots based off large tests they can continuously improve, they can apply this approach to automatically generating title cards of different dimensions by making modest changes to their existing code, and they can create logical sets of title cards so their interface is visually and logically cohesive.
That's why they recommend me always the same shows and movies! They're just A/B testing all their thumbnails on me!
Netflix: **has tailor made thumbnails for you**
Me: "oh no he's hot!"
They got me to start watching "Lucifer" with a shirtless Tom Ellis
Okay that's impressive use of data, creepy as F', but impressive 😳🤯
Not really creepy, just smart.
I often get thumbnails highlighting supporting characters if that actor has played a main character in something else I liked.
Same 😄 So I click on it for that actor/actress (if it's an actor/actress I like) because I want to see more of them on screen, but then they only appear once or twice throughout the whole movie/series😂😂
explains why I was queerbaited by a show with a thumb with two girls almost kissing and said show had a...... straight romance
Netflix always do that to me and I can't complain enough, it makes me sick
2 girls almost made out with a thumb wow thats crazy. brings a whole new meaning to "fingering"

Everyone should watch Thomas Flight's video on this. Same topic, but he actually gathers examples across different Netflix accounts.
Thanks
Thank you!
I watched it and wasn't surprised to see Vox just straight up plagiarized him like they've done to other CZcams videos in the past.
I mean, they talk about the same topic - doesn't mean that Vox is aware of a channel with 55K subs. Still going to watch Thomas to see their take, though.
@@Wakeupgrandowl I suggest watching the other video first before fabricating this antithesis, there are multiple occasions in which Vox copies Thomas Flight's video verbatim, and they follow the near exact order of topics and both share the same thesis and conclusion. No way this would get through any sort of plagiarism check.
Also, I'm curious, what would Vox do, plagiarize channels with millions of subscribers? They've done this before as well, it's a recurring thing with them and it really does articulate the quality of every off-brand and agendasized thing they create. Whether it be political propaganda or pop-culture clickbait.
At the end of the day I'll still just watch the office.
The Office Is not available in the country i'm living :(
Sad Papa Pewds Don't worry. They'll make one IN your country soon. It'll probably be just as funny.
UK original I hope.
Same.
Paul US is better
This was really interesting. I wonder if Netflix ever changes the thumbnails for a particular show they try to get you to watch but maybe you skipped over because it wasn’t as visually stimulating.
I can confirm they do! They have changed several of mine when they noticed I only binged The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina this month (the whole reason I got the account) but had added several to my queue.
They went from 'normal' to horror/pretty 20-30 somethings.
It happens when I'm interested in something but didn't have the time to watch and have a hard time finding it again cause the new thumbnail is unappealing lol
Me: going on Netflix after this video to see if the thumbnails match my interests.
Also me: not watching anything because nothing catches my attention.
I never knew this. Interesting...
As a fellow Netflix documentary binge watcher I relate a bit too.
Usually when I want to watch a daily dose of a historical documentary, I'd Usually go to the "History Documentaries" bar in the searchbar. I mostly pick out the ones with interesting art covers that make me want to watch it right away, but at the same time I wouldn't want to spoil it right away, so I keep it stored. Sometimes when I go and open the Netflix home page, some documentaries have their art cover changed, making me confused on which was which, nonetheless I continue to watch 13th 15 times in a row because I just can't get enough of that sweet, sweet, underground music they use for instrumental breaks.
I watched so much sad shows that the thumbnails is characters crying
Not gonna lie, this was fascinating.
Anyone else go to their Netflix account and try to see what thumbnails they have?
Mine seem to all be groups of people in an activity. Am I interested in friends because I have none 😭
mine are majority women
Idk i just watch spongebob and (used to watch) avatar
one of my biggest pet peeves is when netflix thumbnails show supporting characters who aren't central to the story- it's so confusing
I love how Vox just answers questions I never thought of asking.
I was wondering why all my thumbnails said “cease your investigation”
Rocket ship!
2:11 look at the magnify glass 😏
I don't get it
for the past few months every time I log onto Netflix I'm overwhelmed by how crowded the thumbnails are and almost always end up just rewatching something I've already seen. I wish they could fix their system.
The animation on this video was top notch. Props to the art director and animator for making this so visually pleasing to watch!
"90 seconds to grab your attention"
Me: dude u got like 2 seconds
I always knew there was multiple thumbnails but never bc of this reason wow.
there’s a newish twilight thumbnail that has this electric blue look and it baffled me bc there is nothing electric blue about twilight but it looked so good i was tempted to rewatch
love these types of videos. love you vox!!!!
I really loved the graphic/design in this video, it's so aesthetically pleasing ❤️
I always watch like Korean, Chinese, and Japanese tv shows so like the thumbnails are always a couple like kissing or a hot guy lol
Eni A. HAHAH SAME.
SAME
Loving the changes in video editing in the new Vox videos!
This makes so much sense. I click on something thinking it's something I'll like it and turns out I clicked on something I didn't like and they had changed the thumb nail.
i dont get the "are you still watching" thing on my laptop.
that's so you don't miss your show if you accidentally fall asleep. Rewinding is not hard but it's easy to push play or continue
It usually happens after binge-watching for a few hours, perhaps without interactions. If you let it run, it'll probably show up, or sometimes just pause.
That’s because they’re watching you through your camera and already know whether or not you’re still watching.
“Barely recognizable supporting actress”?? Wasn’t she the main villain?
Nice name
Vox is just throwing shade again /s
She said “fairly”
Hayley Sullivan nope, she says "barely" and captions confirm it
the word "fairly" also doesn't make sense in context. you can't even see the actress' face in the thumbnail.
Yes but you couldn't see her face, so you wouldn't be able to recognize the access if she was put on the thumbnail. If she was put on the thumbnail, then its a possibility that the viewer watches a lot of shows with that actress in it. But in the thumbnail "she was barely recognizable"
what a great video. i've always noticed how the thumbnails changed as i binge-watched different things, from stand ups to a bunch of disney movies, but i never realized why. now i know. thanks!
My cover art changes so much. One day it’s lovely-dovey cover art, the next it is dark and mysterious. This explains so much, because I always thought that someone at Netflix was changing them because people weren’t looking at it. I never thought it changed just for me and what I watched before. WOW, just WOW.
I hate these custom Thumbnails, because I apperantly watch content fron different genres and almost every week the thumbnails change, becaue I watched TWO action movies or some other thing that's different from the rest.
But to be fair, it has now gotten better and more consistent with the styling. But it still changes from time to time without me whatching other genres than usual.
Same here. I was watching Sense8, Gilmore Girls, Love, and some comedy specials at the same time, so the thumbnail change was very apparent and frequent 😹
O that explains why sharing an account with my aunt is a mess... Excelent
I missed this kind of videos, I loved it.
This is great! I didn't even know Netflix thumbnails varied between different users before I saw this video.
this is actually quite impressive. but i think Netflix should first make sure to not spoil future seasons of episodes. while rewatching once upon a time netflix kept showing a really a really spoilery picture of the of the next season during the seconds between the end of an episode and the beginning of the next. though now that I watched this i don't know if this just happens to people who already have watched that season.
So many of these shows aren’t in Australia
Rubin Wells *Weeps* at the lack of decent content :’(
Netflix surely does better at analysing what I like than CZcams. Most of the YT recommendations are uninteresting to me I rarely click on any.
So fascinating! Thanks for explaining the behind the scenes of Netflix.
I wish Netflix could get my attention less by manipulation and more by just producing good shows
How would you know a show is good if you never watched it
Claire Constance reviews and other sources who can actually tell me honestly what should I spend my time on
IJSONSINO , sometimes you just need to play Netflix roulette and take a chance on something you’ve never heard of before it’s called adventure and learning what your interests are without external influence (which sounds possibly impossible since it’s commentary about choosing a show based on appearance of what you tend to watch)
Kinda bored of netflix. Once you watch most of the good stuff you're actually interested in, you get left with b- grade or below garbage pretty quickly. Netflix original movies are a huge crapshoot and I've regretted watching the last few they've put out.
What country are you in?
I thought Sense8 was good. I switch between HBO, Hulu, and Netflix every few months. I don't pay for all of them at once cause I don't have time.
@J G why not both?

I remember when Gina Barton started with a traffic light video (I think) and it was clear that she wasn't used to doing voiceover. She has improved by leaps and bounds and it's really cool to see the progress she's made in both making and voicing videos. Keep up the great work.
then why can i never find anything that interests me
black netflix has the most insane thumbnails
Black netflix? The section of netflix dedicated to African Americans? A gothic netflix? A dark netflix clone? BE SPECIFIC MYSTERIOUS FOX CREATURE!
@@Saitaina lol. Pretty sure they meant African American Netflix
I think thumbnails catered to a black audience. There's examples in the video that show someone of a different race different from the main character(s). 4:28
The same is true for titles. I called me friend the other day to ask her about a Thai drama, love sick. And as she was explaining it to me we quickly realized there was some miscommunication. She was a large fan if lovesick the British drama. When she tried to clarify that we were talking about different shows by adding lovesick to my list she almost couldn't find it in searches on my account and the same was true for me and her account. It was at this point that we continued describing each series and discover their cultural origins. This is not the first time this has happened and she's started to realize how different our account look.
This is really interesting! Pls keep up the great content :)

My neflex thumb nails are usually of minorities who are almost never the main charaters of the films. It is of course not a requirement that everything I watch has nonwhite main charaters but I dislike being decieved. So I never trust the thumb nails only go on trailers and synopsis. I wish Netflix had human curators rather than machines. Its extremely difficult to find new intresting things to watch becaus their recommendations are atrocious.
undetestable1 Netflix be playing with me too, I try to watch stuff with nonwhte leads and they trick me with poc side characters that only have two lines 🤧
i’m sorry i just can’t help with your grammar and spelling mistakes 😂
When the show you watch is on the thumbnail 🤩
I appreciate all the work that must have gone into researching and writing this. Cool info. Cheers Gina.
One thing I hate about Netflix is that it always shows me what I thinks I want to watch, so trending is trending but only the stuff we think you like. Makes it hard to explore and search for different stuff
That's why I see beautiful women in thumbnails.

This feels like sponsored ad-content from Netflix.
Kind of, but it's a really cool and interesting subject still. Shows where we've gotten in machine learning and prediction, in something that most people watching could see for themselves: netflix.com
@J G 100% sure that they clarify when their content is sponsored. This is sponsored my American Express, not Netflix.
MotherAce Native advertising.
And yet it's not, so maybe you need to fine-tune your ad sponsor detector...or pay attention to the actual content.
@@cityuser Even if it was, I've seen many sponsored content that was actually quite good. Game Theory does quite a bit, but I think it's because most of their partners are hands off (I can't believe I just said that for Disney).
Video was too long. Halfway through it, I got hungry so I left it playing and went to the kitchen to fix my self a sandwich. But then I found out that I'm out of mayonnaise so I went to a store. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. But I'm really a shy person so I took up a three-year personality development course so I can introduce my self. She was very friendly and all, but unfortunately, she has a boyfriend. So I said, all good, I'm a mature person. I want the best for her and I harbor no illusion that I am the best person for her and she seems happy with her boyfriend, so I did not bother her anymore. But we kept in touch and we became friends and I got over my crush on her. Then she broke up with her boyfriend, we drank some alcohol because of it, I told her she'll be fine and I wished her well. I still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but like I said, I am over my crush on her. It was like five years already when I first saw her. Besides, I am quiet happy with the friendship I developed with her. It was more important than a crush. So we kept hanging out, drinking, having coffee, and all. I had a girlfriend, she started dating other guys. My girlfriend wants to live some other life without me in it, so I said, okay, I want the best for you and I want you to pursue your happiness. My lady friend and I drank alcohol about it, and she gave me the same advice I gave her when she was in that position and I became okay with the breakup immediately. But we were really drunk, so she spent the night in my apartment. I only have one bed, so you know what that means: She took the bed and I slept on the couch. But on the couch, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me. So I tossed and turned for about three hours, then I finally can't take it anymore, I stood up and went straight to my room where she's sleeping. I approached the bed, gently sat on it and I reached for her shoulder to pull her closer to me. She stirred and woke up. She asked what's up. I told her, you know, the first time I saw you, I was watching a video and left it playing to get my self a sandwich then went to the store to get some mayo then I got distracted by life that I forgot to finish the video. She said, you know what, I've been wondering about a weird noise in your night drawer. So we opened that drawer, and lo and behold, there's my phone and this video still has two minutes of play time on it.
Great story, could've been a short film
Loved the twist at the end

Thank you, M. Night Shyamalan
This should be on Omleto
"Besides, I am quite happy", not quiet.
@J G Do you know that? Or are you guessing?
This was really interesting. Good essay!
There is a Netflix Original show someone recommended to me that I had never heard of. I searched it up and it said I had a 44% match rating. I added it to my list. Now it's splashed all over my front page when it was previously no where to be seen and has an 94% match rating.
Came here ASAP
Too bad. I don't have Netflix
Loved this synopsis! Data is everything! 🧠
