Netflix is planning to raise prices… again - Lemmy.world

Never mind the price, Netflix just doesn’t have stuff I want to watch anymore.
Netflix does have good shows, but they’re just so few and far in between. I stopped my subscription about a year ago, and haven’t missed it. I’ll resubscribe this month to watch Fall of the House of Usher, then unsub again just because there’s nothing to watch.
They also actively pigeon hole users into a small portion of their content, they’ve been stripping away all search and discovery functionality over the years. They are going down the route of “our algorithm is perfect and knows exactly what you want so why would you want to do anything else”

I keep thinking about this, big tech companies and their recommendation algorithms that keep getting worse and recommending you content you don’t actually care about but is designed to keep you on their platform is probably one of the biggest bullshit they come up with.

maybe I should write about this in longform next week
