In Progress

Has the algorithm used to generate "Top Picks Just For You" been changed recently?

So... I happened to look up some information on the Twilight saga a few hours ago; I visited the pages of all 5 films. Lo and behold, my "Top Picks - TV Shows and Movies just for you" recommendation list is now FULL of Rom-Coms, Rom Dramas, and Other Chick Flicks (as opposed to Horror, Thriller, Sci Fi.. titles, which it ordinarily has.) The (i) Information button says "based on your interest in Twilight, etc." I can only assume the algorithm has been changed to be biased in favour of very recent page view history, as opposed to our overall viewing and rating history. Please investigate.

Hi NYVKE - I'm currently checking with our product team to confirm if there were any recent changes to the recommendations behavor of this featured section. In the meantime, to confirm, the "Top Picks For You" section takes several activities into account to generate recommendations, which includes viewing new IMDb pages. If you are not liking the recommendations that are being offered, you have the ability to downvote that recommendation, which will update your Top picks.
