Oh man, I work at home and I tend to have the same movies running every day because they are tried and true good "background noise movies".....but they don't tend to have great plots because I don't want a distraction. This could get ugly....

I do the same thing Wanda. Working from home you need something entertaining but not so engrossing that you forget to work. Bless. At least I know someone is giving me credit for watching 'Republic of Doyle' 17 times from beginning to end... Yes b'y.

1. Spotify has been running a similar ad/pr move/ conversation starter for like 2 years 2. Yea, netflix knows what you watch. You can go look at your watch history, why can't they? Why are people surprised?

Netflix probably thinks i've just been binge watching Friends everyday for the last 2 years... when it's really my dogs! I put it on for them to deter them from barking when we leave. They've been watching early 90's 20-somethings turn into early 2000's 30-somethings for the last two years... and i'm pretty sure they are upset every time Monica breaks up with Tom Selleck...

Poor dogs what torture. Friends was such a dull sitcom I never understood it's popularity other then people are easily amused.

I agree with the Always Sunny one -- thankfully it's on Hulu.

Of course Netflix tracks these things. What did these people think they were doing? Didn't they notice the recommendations?

I wish they'd pay attention to how often I've watched Marco Polo and bring the series back already. ~pout~ it was Sooooooo beautifully done.

I usually turn Netflix on when I go to bed. Since it usually takes me less than 10 minutes to fall asleep, I never get to the end of an episode or movie in one "sitting". I therefor have to watch them many times to get to the end.

I don't think this is rly that creepy xD I just think it's more of seeing how many people are watching a show to determine whether or not they should keep it or not...pretty sure it's anonymous and is like what youtube does but idk

They need to offer more variety. It's getting harder to find even one show to watch so I'm having to watch the same sh!t over & over. Xmas wish 2017- up your game Netflix!

the truth of this is however, netflix could be TOTALLY lying about the number of people who are watching that on repeat. they could have completely made up the entire thing in order to get people to watch this movie they made. and tbh, i really hope that is the case. its pretty un-nerving to think they can see a specific account watched something a certain number of times just from meta data.

Meanwhile, Netflix won't release basic statistics showing how many people watch House of Cards, for example, so the industry can gauge how successful its original programming is and whether its model of dumping entire seasons in one shots really does attract new viewers or just loses those who started in the early seasons then never returned.

I expect because it's like handing out tips to the competition on how to make competing products. I can see why they wouldn't want to share that kind of info with the public. It is safe to say, though, for the sheer volume of shows they are producing, it is proving profitable for them or they would have stopped by now.
