Netflix is ditching user reviews or the system up/down
Once of the service, Netflix’s user reviews are going away without any suggestion. The movie streaming giant has shifted away from the feature over the last few years may b last 3-4 years, and by the end of the summer, they will be gone from the site together.
If you still got something to get off your chest about the new season of Kimmy Schmidt or many other serials, you’ll still be able to do so through the end of the month. It won’t do much good, however by the middle of August or last of August, no one will actually be able to read the thing.
A spokesperson for the company acknowledged as much in an email this week, “We have notified members who have used the feature recently or sometime.”
Netflix has been weaning users off of the crowd rating system for a while now, of course. Back in April or march of last year, the site dumped the familiar five star rating system in favor of the more straightforward thumbs up or down, in an attempt to offer a more personalized recommendation system to hire more choice.
“A thumbs down lets us know you are not interested in watching that title and we should stop suggesting it to you,” Netflix wrote at the time that. “You can still search for it, but we ave heard all about what you were trying to tell us you are not a fan and it will no longer show up on your homepage or suggestion. In either case, using thumbs helps us learn even more about your unique tastes so we can do a better job suggesting stories we think you love or interested in that.”
The review system has only been available via the desktop version of the service not in phone version and from most accounts, it has been fairly underused of late. Once it’s gone, however, the thumbs up or down will remain in tact. If you still need to world to know what you thought about that powerful new Hannah Gadsby stand up special or so many other shows, on the other hand, that’s what social media is for, I guess.
