Ah Netflix, automated recommendations are for the Birds

Don’t understand how Netflix bases their recomendations. Because I liked Il Postino, Cinema Paradiso and Gandhi, they recommend for me The Life of Birds. And the similarity is? Probably I get the recommendation because viewers who liked those films also ordered The Life of Birds. Not me. Making some really wrong assumptions here. Those computer generated models don’t always work. Actually you’re pissing me off and I just disregard all your recommendations.
