some people take this watchlist matter more seriously than you may think
The principle, dear guest at my house is that there's a holy law, Thou shalt always use the guest profile otherwise thou shall be banished from my apartment.
That your innocent, unsuspecting friend who is excited to spend an evening on your living room TV, is usually unaware they're about to commit an act of algorithmic treason when they start clicking on randomly content on Netflix that screws up your perfectly designed movie algorithm… oh the pain

The other day, my daughter was like, “dad, we can’t have family coming over and messing up our algorithms. If they don’t want to use the guest profile, they can leave.” I was so proud.
Literally me with my visiting Mama last night. I came out of the shower to find her on my profile watching “Touched By An Angel” 😡. My algorithm is toast.
just proper etiquette in 2025
if i use my streaming platforms at other folks’ homes, i use the guest profile attached. not so they don’t fuck up my algo, more so that they don’t see me watching the same five things over and over for the past six months 💀
As somebody who subs for a month to watch a series, and doesn’t look at the streaming platforms to find something to watch, fuck my shit up. Seriously, fuck my shit right up. I wanna see Love Island, NCIS, serial killer documentaries, all of it. I don’t look at that shit anyways.
My Mom watches British murder mysteries and our profiles got inexplicably intertwined years ago. It’s joever, I just have to deal with it.
Idgaf about that
Seriously because I built that algorithm brick by brick
Yeah I have a guest profile of my TVs and apps because of a “Love is Blind” fiasco that screwed up my suggestions
If that bothers you, please don’t have kids.
Nah at my house you can only watch stuff I watch already. You’re not gonna start watching whatever anime bs you’re into and ruining my algo lol
NCIS Tuscaloosa would be like a serialized version of when the First 48 Birmingham episodes. Slide in a riverfront brawl episode and we might have a hit
Netflix has a lock function for any profile. Mine is locked and needs a code to enter my profile. I wish the other platforms would offer this too. Someone watched Bob’s Burgers on my Hulu account and ruined my algorithm.
Omg my mom did that to me on my YouTube when she was obsessed with that Diddy trial. 🤦🏿♀️
