Did the algorithm make you watch Tiger King?
Netflix’s recommendation algorithm is supposed to find you TV and movies that you’ll like — and that will keep you paying for Netflix. But is Netflix really showing you stuff you want to watch, or just stuff that Netflix made?

Customer Reviews
I enjoyed the ride.
It was like a little rollercoaster. It went up-and then down. Looking forward to more
Interesting podcast
In a sea of rehashed Google facts this is refreshing??! The Tiger King episode tho. It wasn’t the algorithm it was post in Instagram that sparked my interest. Same with the show You.
GOAT
Jason Del Ray is the GOAT!! So much work & intelligence on the worlds most important store. A must listen. Unfortunately, the second batch on Netflix is boring and uncritical. Bring back the GOAT!!!!
