Actually, the predictive technology is so far off, tossing a coin has more accurate results!

Netflix is the absolute worst! It NEVER puts up the kinds of movies I want to watch, and instead insists on displaying the kinds of movies I don’t like. On the older netflix software, you could choose the categories you enjoy most, or you could choose to never show this or that. So, when I chose never show this or that, what pops up for movie choices? The stuff I absolutely don’t want to watch!

For that reason, I won’t subscribe.

So, if law enforcement technology is as accurate as Netflix, then we should all be scared, VERY scared! Because Netflix is very far from even being close. You can end up accused of doing the very things you reject.

Netflix is incredibly accurate. But you need to feed it data. You need to rate a lot of categories, and yes you still can ban whole categories, and you need to rate a lot of movie. Until you’ve rated at least 1000 movies they’re just guessing, but when they have data to work with they’re above 99% accurate.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess "Gay and Lesbian Films" was one of your "never show" categories. I'll bet there's an algorithm there that maximizes that category, whatever one's preferences!
