Australia proposes ban on social media for those under 16

And yet Netflix, Amazon, etc recommend movies and shows I’ve watched in the last 6 months. They literally know who I am and what I’ve watched and can’t/won’t build a basic recommendation engine that includes “don’t recommend things watched in the last X months”.

Maybe there’s a reason they want me to rewatch things, but I find it extremely annoying to have the first rows of recommendations be things I watched recently.

That is all but certainly more a sign of enshittification than of technical inability to implement that function.

This might make sense given the priors. e.g. someone who's hasn't watched Star Wars in the past 6 months might be less likely to watch and enjoy Star Wars than someone who's already watched Star Wars in the past 6 months.
