Netflixhas a new update that is designed to make personalisation on the streaming platform that much simpler, though from the first initial details it seems more likely to only complicate the whole process.
Double Thumbs Up is a new feature that will allow users to rate movies and shows even higher than the previous single Thumbs Up option. The idea is that anything you like should receive one Thumbs Up while anything you love should receive Double Thumbs Up. Meanwhile, the single Thumbs Down button is still available and won’t be changed.
As a result, profile recommendations for TV series and films onNetflixshould be curated better to your liking. So if you likedThe Bubblewith Karen Gillain and Pedro Pascal, you should be recommended Doctor Who or Narcos with the actors or more comedies.
The new option is being rolled out to all territories now. It can be found located next to the Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down buttons across TV, browser and mobile.
“A Thumbs Up still lets us know what you liked, so we use this response to make similar recommendations. But a Double Thumbs Up tells us what you loved and helps us get even more specific with your recommendations. For example, if you lovedBridgerton, you might see even more shows or films starring the cast, or from Shondaland.”
