Netflix's awful match system

But why would certain things getting bad ratings be the reason why? Surely, people will just thumbs down it now instead giving it a very bad ratio anyway, just like before? I don't understand why stuff like Amy Schumer's terrible standup special being roasted is relevant to the change.

The new system hides the percentage of thumbs up and thumbs down from you, all it does is recommend titles it thinks you will like based on what you have thumbed up or down previously. So effectively, they have hidden the fact that several of their original shows got bad reviews from users, you can only see that they have bad reviews if you go to the Netflix website and look at the user reviews under the details tab now, which you can't access from any of the various Netflix apps afaik.

Oh wow, that's terrible. Huge strike against Netflix for this ... Unfortunately I doubt they'd ever reverse it. :/ What a misstep on their part.
