The relevance of Netflix's suggestions is NOT NOT NOT what this article is about, Bhairitu. If you actually have a look at it, I'm pretty sure you'll be intrigued.
Thanks. I looked at some articles on this a couple weeks ago. However their suggestions are about as relevant as what Google or Amazon recommends because of the way I use Netflix. For instance I only watched "Atlas Shrugged II" for reference and gave it only 1 star (you can't give no stars) so they post a message after such a rating that they have no recommendations based on that rating. The movie itself is quite laughable.

We took the genre descriptions, broke them down to their key words, … and built our own new-genre generator. This article from The Atlantic by Alexis Madrigal is a whole lot more fascinating than it sounds. Especially the Perry Mason Ghost in the Machine, which emerges toward the end. The "new-genre generator" is the least of it.
