Recommendations: Customise the recommendations

It would be nice if we could have some control over the Recommended for You section. I would like to have the option of not be recommended TV series for example. I come to IMDB for the data on movies, which is great, but since I started rating TV shows, quite a lot of TV series are recommended for me and I ́d really prefer if the system only suggested movies instead.

This is a great idea.

What annoys me the most is that recommendations appear because of 6 star ratings of mine.

I mean, 6 stars is a little above average and not really a movie that should be the basis for other recommendations. IMDB forces me to rate movies lower if I really don't want them to appear in the recommendation engine.

Another improvement would be if you could exclude genres from the recommendations, for example I don't like to watch horror movies.

@christos_kiosses  Even with very low rating, I am surprised that imdb is recommending those i voted not just similar ones.

It seems like Youtube/Facebook recommendation algorithm. It recommends the most triggering for reaction either most you like or most you hate.
