Live Poll: Canceled on Netflix

Here's the rub. Netflix puts out so much stuff that there is bound to be a diamond in the rough, and supposedly the algorithm can figure out what to recommend to specific individual viewers, but most people probably still either wind up being lost or latch onto something only to find later that it will be discontinued, as not enough people coalesce around enough shows. Honestly, I've not really been able to become a faithful viewer of any of the shows original to any of the major streaming platforms.

If the "algorithm" is so reliable, how is it that the lowest possible match is 55%? Even though I give every sci-fi, fantasy, teen high school, Bollywood, foreign language, lgtbq..., cartoon, and uber-slick, over-produced, cgi loaded, stuporhero blockbuster nonsense, shows that I will never watch, the "thumbs-down", they still, somehow manage to pull a 55% rating. Even after you give thousands of them the thumbs-down, they still "recommend" them with a 55% rating. 55% is a pretty high mark, for something I'd rate well under 10%. A lot of Netflix shows seem to be aimed at pre-teen/teenage girls, there's very little on there for pre-millennial males that don't read comic books. I will give Netflix one thing, at least when you give a show the thumbs-down, it stays hidden. If you "hide" the shows you don't like on Prime, refresh the page, and all the shows you've just hidden reappear, and Stan doesn't even have a way to remove anything. Every time you try and search, you have to search the entire catalogue.
