They bend over backwards to protect their own. Pathetic.

Typical liberalness. If you can’t get the results you want, you change the rules to suit your needs.

Smucky Schumer (RAT-NY) must have ordered it.

Won’t this screw up the algorithm they use to suggest things to watch based on my feedback?

I’ve noticed that a lot of liberal trash on Netflix has low star ratings ... My guess is that more cord cutters lean more towards the right ... My favorite leftist spew was the one film that shows a hypothetical outcome of the south winning the Civil War. Leftists have such a static view of the world.

Netflix suggested that since I watched Arrested Development I would enjoy Downfall (Hitler's last days).

Wait, so Netflix is reducing the usefulness of it’s user interface in order to protect Amy Schumer from viewers who didn’t like her show? Hobbling the rating system just makes me less likely to use Netflix.

Only on Netflix are we subjected to a bar-list of gay-lesbian content when we never would watch such content - and in fact would delete that bar from our screens were it possible to do so. Yes indeed, Netflix does protect its own. It sure as hell doesn't do anything constructive to aid our viewing choices.

Weird. I never understand why these CEO’s insist on shooting their companies in the foot. It’s like they forget they are in the business of selling a product or that nobody can take their cheese.

Seriously, the 5 star system is data that they can use to better pick and choose programming and possibly price negotiation with content producers.

Thumbs up or down is much less useful in the data realm.

Worst part is they are wasting our money pumping out horrible movies and TV shows.

Yellin: "We're gonna keep playing with the rating system until we come up with one that satisfies US. To hell with our customers."

Being on metered broadband (cell modem), I don't stream Netflix programming. But I've used, and enjoyed, their DVD mail service for years.

I cancelled my netflix service because their offerings were so awful, plus I got tired of seeing faggot and raghead movies and tv shows advertised.

Since I switched to Netflix streaming (it was a major inconvenience to have to find a mailbox with a parking space near it, park, then jam the disk down the slot), I have not seen ANY movies offered less than 10 years old, unless it was the Netflix garbage. I do not watch TV; haven’t watched TV programs for 35 years or so. I got Netflix to watch MOVIES. Every time I type in the title of a movie I want to see, it is not offered on Netflix streaming. I spend as much time looking for movies I didn’t already see, which are not dirty, and which are not total stupid garbage as I would viewing the movie.

Any ideas? It’s very frustrating.

BTW, there is a WONDERFUL reality TV show on Youtube about an English veterinarian who creates custom orthopedic tools, anatomical parts, etc. and pulls off miracles in pet orthopedics. They don’t hide anything, whether it’s the silly secretaries singing at each other or jiving with each other, owners totally losing it at bad news, this veterinarian (has a staff of 50, has own MRI, CAT scan, X ray machines, state of art boarding facilities for long term patients) collapsing after a 6 hour operation, etc. It’s called The Supervet and it is fascinating. OK, every episode I have tears running down my face, but the science is soooo cool.

They’ve BEEN doing the thumbs up/down for at least the last year! When you view info about the movie, you see a star rating.

They keep pushing trashy women like Chelsea Handler and Amy Schumer on us...why?

obviously it's not to make money, because they already have subscribers' money,

It certainly does seem that way. I can only think of about two comedians I’ll watch on it, frankly. The rest are just liberal trash full of more hate that the hate they claim from us.

Netflix also has also taken to putting on a whole regime of Spanish, Korean, Chinese films and mislabeling them that the audio is English. They openly make programs with LGTBQ (Sense8) characters over-represented, and they foist that crap in your face even though you’ve told them in your profile that you don’t ever want to see that stuff. The profiles are meaningless buttons on a screen. In short, Netflix has made the very conscious decision to go Globalist and LGBTQ at the same time.
