Fragmented Media, Fragmented Me
I just fell asleep scrolling through Netflix.
I must admit, I have a heavy appetite for content, but I can’t seem to crawl out of this show hole.
Netflix’s perception of me (their algorithm, I mean) is limited to what I’ve watched on Netflix and the movies and shows within their platform. They don’t know that I follow Neil Degrasse Tyson on Twitter or that I listen to Tim Ferris on Soundcloud. So how are they supposed to recommend “Neil Degrasse Tyson Show Title” or “Time Ferris’s Special Show?” Their recommendation algorithm isn’t to blame, but their knowledge of what I might like is.
