I’m a fan of stand up comedy and have watched a ton of them on Netflix. I have never watched a female comedian. I bet 11 of the first 12 listings in the stand up comedy section are females. Obvious agenda push is obvious.

The only thing obvious is that you're a moron.

You've watched a ton of comedians on Netflix, all males. Hey maybe Netflix is just recommending stand up shows you haven't watched yet. Did you think of that?

Wish there was a delete list you could select. These are the shows/movies after watching the preview I will never watch. Then use a algorithm to predict other shows I will never watch.

Of all things to bitch about bro. If that's the worst thing to happen to you this weekend then you have it made. Of course they will suggest new movies/series but they do calculate their suggestions in part based on the genre of your previous selections.

What is a sensible aggregation of data to you, is not a sensible aggregation of data to them.

They look at metatrends; people who like X also tend to like Y-- not which factor makes you enjoy X, necessarily, means a common factor will make you want to watch Y.
