I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I don't find the Netflix algorithm useful. With a few exceptions everything is a 97-99% match

That's weird, for me I see 30% and over, although most fall into 60% and over.

I think it could be: you didn't 'dislike' many titles or; you are not browsing things that are too different from what you usually watch

The current Netflix algorithm is useless. Cinematch is what they used to have and they had a prize, which they awarded, for $1M to anyone who could improve it by 10%. They've apparently abandoned it.
