- Do you really get recommenditions for movies you already watched or down voted? I'm not aware of that happening to me. It's not it the case that you use multiple different profiles within a single account? I sometimes see that for shows we finished, yet people tend to rewatch episodes...

- Removing a movie based on "not payed X times" would remove all popular movies for all users in a multiple of X steps.

-I agree with the new episodes banner.

I'm not sure about down voted ones, but I can confirm that I sometimes get already watched movies recommended again (even in recommendation mails).
