This. For a firm with all these supposed high-performers trying to discover and cater to my viewing habits, they sure had a hard time figuring out that I never chose their "original content" that they were shoving in my face all the time.

I dropped them in 2020.

There was this storyline that data was going to replace lunches with authors, pitch meetings, and a lot of other creative activities. It's mostly been BS. And recommendation engines barely work at all 10+ years in.

Let this be a lesson. Data and fancy algorithms can NEVER replace a smart human who cares. Data and algorithms can enhance and expedite humans - but if your humans are stupid, you will just make stupid decisions faster

Some of my favorite works in the past few years have been Netflix originals. You might want to consider giving them another chance! They’ve got some of the film industries most talented minds working on them.

Examples? I haven't mostly seen them although I do subscribe. I could name at least two shows on Apple TV+ (which is rarely discussed) that I consider better than anything on Netflix of late. (For All Mankind and The Morning Show)
