"Known For" algorithm choices

The algorithm used by IMDb for it's "Known For" choices... SUCKS! I have 35 years in the business and 68 credits to choose from and the algorithm selects "Stepford Wives"? You've gotta be kidding me. These "Known For" headings are the first (and sometimes only) thing seen on someones profile and should be selected by the user, not some numerically abstract equation, which obviously works badly. Users shouldn't be forced to subscribe to IMDbPro in order to make this basic and important presentation choice. IMDb can and should offer ALL it's users access to basic screen credit presentation requirements. It should not be only for those who can afford to pay an extra monthly charge. This is a singular and simple fix, requested by many users. Come on IMDb, get current with simple technology. Thanks

I can totally get your frustration, although my humble variant of it is directed much more towards people who have no patience and will (despite some of them being professionals) to at least briefly look through the full filmography. 

You can actually set up your "Known For" credits, if you have an IMDb Pro account.
