Does anyone remember the feature way back where it would ask you a bunch of questions about how you felt and what type of movie you wanted to watch? Then it would try to predict what movie you wanted to watch. It never worked out

Recommendation algorithms seem to be widely designed to take away as much individual choice as possible. Just nonsensical sorting that leaves both users and creators confused.

So their used to be this website called Jinni. Asked you a bunch of questions about movies and you spent time going through movies and rating them and why* you liked them. You could get AMAZING movie recommends from this website and it could even recommend movies based on their ‘feel’. I’ve used every movie recommendation generator out there and Jinni was 100x better.

But then they sold out and now sell algorithms to companies or something along those lines. Can’t blame a business for wanting to make money but man do I miss that service
