The more I think about it the more absurd the recency bias seems to me. You’ll only be able to see 0.0001% of all shows that were made, so why not make it the top 0.0001% of shows *ever made,* instead of just those that Netflix happens to have on its homepage?

I used to run one of those (a bookshop, with a used books floor). Bad economics but great lessons and memories.
Interesting. How were the economics different? I would guess the big difference between selling new and used books is that the latter take longer to sell, but in the meantime are appreciating.

The economics were bad for bookshop in general. Combination of small town, bootstrapped capital, requirement to shift volume of low quality books to make profit (which we didn't want to do). Selecting used books is a skill in itself. Ours was very far from antiquarian.

My primary motivation was the power and beauty of "the book" as an item, and what I saw as its endangerment. Still aim to do that, just in ways other than playing the high street retail game.
