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

*plenty of stuff both coming from them and hosted by them, to be clear

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 …

Maybe Hulu’s content is better tailored to your taste
-
No, it’s not about that. There is stuff on Netflix that I want to see, and Netflix has the data to know that, but they don’t surface that content in the incredible way Hulu does.
-
Let me put it slightly differently: your content preferences on Hulu are more cohesive than those on Netflix, and as such, it’s easier to surface the stuff you like there.
-
Again, no, it’s not that. Feel free to check out the rest of the thread, but it’s much simpler: Netflix doesn’t do a good job of showing me the things that I obviously want to watch and haven’t yet seen. Hulu does. It’s mainly UI. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some of us make our own decisions.

Also probably has something to do with the options available. Hulu’s library is pretty limited compared to Netflix.

Maybe they bought Amazon's algorithm.
