After a year of research, Netflix will now have a thumbs-up or thumbs-down system that will then match you with movies and TV based on your "like" history. If you're thinking it's very much like a dating app, that's because it is.
"Ratings on Netflix have never been a reflection of popularity," the video added, which means the stars for a specific movie might not have been the same for others as they are for you, Netflix stated.
After you get your "thumbs" history going, you'll get matches and percentage estimates based on how much the company's algorithm thinks you'll like something.
"In contrast, when people see thumbs, they know that they are used to teach the system about their tastes with the goal of finding more great content," Johnson added.
