Lightsasori 05/02/17 7:16:21 PM #3:	No, Netflix was already having plans in changing the rating system for awhile now. Just like how Youtube changed theirs from star ratings to thumbs up and down. It's a proven fact that more people rate things using the thumbs up/down system rather than the star rating. Also with the star ratings, most people tend to vote in extremes anyways. Now the real question is, is the thumbs up/down rating system better than the star rating system? That I can't really answer. --- "Yare yare daze" ~ Jotaro Kujo "Children are pure, they know who's the strongest." ~ MaskDeSmith <cite>Lightsasori posted [p:878354610] in Amy Schume...

There was no indication that I would like it, Hell even before the thumb system his movies were like 2 stars on my netflix. Now its 96%? Get the fuck outta here(not you netflix). I didn't say you were disagreeing with me. I corrected your perception that you shouldn't be seeing highly matched Adam Sandler movies because you never rate them high. What you are not understanding is that the rating system you see is not based 100% on your ratings alone. It is an algorithm based on people with your similar tastes. Please re-read what I wrote. Also read @nclrwntr post above, he/she is stating the same thing. I know its not based on my rating alone, hence why I added Hell even before the thumb system his movies were like 2 stars on my netflix All of a sudden in one day the rating of all like minded people went from 20% to 96%? If the thumb system came and went and the suggestions on my netflix were the same or similar it wouldnt be that big of a deal. But now it seem they are suggesting things that no one likes (low rating on IMBD AND RT) with 90% plus on my netflix. I'm not going all conspiracy theory here.

It is hard to separate the good from the mediocre within a genre when Netflix recommends me shows now.</quote> That's why they need to change it back but I know the Dear White People 1 star would get them being called a racist</quote> You know the star rating wasn't universal, right? It was based on what Netflix thought you might like.</quote> Hmmm maybe, but after the thumbs system came out they recommended me the new Adam Sandler movie with a 96% match and I always rate his movies one star and never once watch one. Also they have been making it harder and harder to read users reviews.</quote> The rating system is not (and never was) 100% based on your individual ratings of content. It is an algorithm that includes other people. If people with your same taste have been rating Adam Sandler movies at a higher rate, the algorithm suggests that you would probably like it, too. It can be hard to cover outliers. For example, Netflix would probably push Game of Thrones really hard on me, if it was available and rate it 5 stars/98% match. I love medieval era movies, I like political dramas, fantasy, and action films. I makes perfect sense that I would love GoT. Turns out, I couldn't get in to it.</quote> ??? I wasnt disagreeing with you. I was saying this new system seems to want to push the shit they paid for and lost money on. Your GoT analogy doesn't really apply here. I rated ALL SANDLER MOVIES 1 STAR. There was no indication that I would like it, Hell even before the thumb system his movies were like 2 stars on my netflix. Now its 96%? Get the fuck outta here(not you netflix).</quote> I didn't say you were disagreeing with me. I corrected your perception that you shouldn't be seeing highly matched Adam Sandler movies because you never rate them high. What you are not understanding is that the rating system you see is not based 100% on your ratings alone. It is an algorithm based on people with your similar tastes. Please re-read what I wrote. Also read @nclrwntr post above, he/she is stating the same thing.</quote> I know its not based on my rating alone, hence why I added Hell even before the thumb system his movies were like 2 stars on my netflix All of a sudden in one day the rating of all like minded people went from 20% to 96%? If the thumb system came and went and the suggestions on my netflix were the same or similar it wouldnt be that big of a deal. But now it seem they are suggesting things that no one likes (low rating on IMBD AND RT) with 90% plus on my netflix. I'm not going all conspiracy theory here.

Well if you rate thing netflix will try and suggest stuff you may have never heard of or seen that you will like.

You didn't convey that you understand the concept. When I explained it the first time, you said, "Hmm maybe." This sentence: "Hmmm maybe, but after the thumbs system came out they recommended me the new Adam Sandler movie with a 96% match and I always rate his movies one star and never once watch one." does not suggest you understand. There is no need to be so defense about it. I am just explaining how the system works. Cool your jets. I'm not mad at you sorry if came off that way. I just REALLY hate Adam Sandler and I dont like that they are trying to suggest that I would even want to see a trailer of his trash. --- While I may not agree with your opinion, I will defend to the death your right to have it. <cite>youngfossil posted [p:878401786] in Amy Schume...
