You may watch garbage (revealed preferences) but that is more important to them in terms of keeping your attention than your wish list (stated preference).

That’s my point. The algorithm goal is not to find what I’d like, but rather what I’d put up with. They only need to find what I’d like every so often, to keep me on the platform.
It’s correct from Netflix’s perspective, but not from mine.
