The Netflix recommendation engine probably only works for people that watch a lot of Netflix. For me it’s practically useless at guessing why I watch something and can’t differentiate between skips because something is boring or because I’ve watched it earlier on another account.

A much better, easier way to expose new content is the traditional way: send people on talk shows like Colbert and have them talk about the new shows. Netflix should do their own late night show on the service.
