    Query: Why is Hulu so good at telling me what I want to watch next and Netflix so bad at it?

        I imagine it partially has to do with Netflix’s focus on pushing its own new content, but Hulu has some pretty successful stuff of its own, too, so I don’t think that’s quite the whole answer.

        They both have plenty of data on me, and there is stuff I am wanting to watch on both services, but Hulu presents the shows I want to be watching right up top and Netflix makes me search and guess and hope I remember.

        Yes, it is completely about the user interface. (And don’t even get me started on Amazon, but they’re slightly different bc they’re fitting within a larger system.)https://twitter.com/jonrosenberg/status/990443908583841792?s=21 …

        A lot of it is their interface, I think. They need to bring in a superstar UX person and start from scratch.

        My theory is Netflix pushes users to watch unpopular things (i.e., things you don’t care about) to please content providers. Hulu doesn’t have to do that because they’re supported by their network partners.

        You spend more time watching Hulu than Netflix so it gets you better

        Nope. It’s not about algorithms. It’s about the user interface, the way the system is set up.

        I choose to believe it is because Hulu is named for a smooth, fluid dance and therefore it creates a user experience that is more smooth and fluid. Netflix started out not even really matching its clunky name. Names matter.

        I wish they would have a "do not suggest anymore" button or "block this show" button. I don't know how many times The Goldbergs or Fresh off the Boat started when I have #hulu on for background noise and I LOATHE those shows!

        Nothing galls me more than scrolling thru Netflix screens seeing the same shows I've skipped over hundreds of times presented in multiple adjacent categories.

        All Netflix tells me is that there’s nothing good on tv.

        I dunno, my @netflix even recommends great international shows I end up watching. I recommend watching the S. Korean shows; good stuff.

        It’s the opposite for me. Hulu seems to mostly recommend whatever new generic tv is available. Although I do mostly use to watch current tv. Do you use it for movies?
