On the contrary, why did you never?
Today (February 24, US time), a new ranking feature has appeared on Netflix.No matter which device you open on TV or mobile, you will see "Today's Top 10", "Today's Top 10", and "Today's TV Program Top 10" will be displayed.
“Not always displayed” ranking
This ranking, which is deployed in about 100 countries, including Japan, is counted as a user in each country pressed the play button for more than 2 minutes.In other words, it is not a global ranking but a popular work in Japan.
A ranking by category is created by category of "general ranking" regardless of genre, "movie" that is completed by one playback, and series work that consists of multiple stories.It seems to be updated at 4:30 every morning.
In the ranking work, the "TOP 10 Badge" is displayed in the upper right of the artwork.
I think Netflix was raising the number of viewing by doing a completely personalized recommendation without disclosing the ranking of popular works, but did you change your policy?
According to Netflix, "The three rankings are not always displayed every day. If the user's preference is close to the works in each ranking, the top 10 appears in a high position on Netflix.Some people are displayed, others do not come out at all, and their position and number depend on the popular work of the day. "
Also, if you do not look at the work from TOP 10, the ranking will be difficult to display, and if you play a lot from here, it seems that the ranking will be displayed at a high frequency and high position.It seems to be a mechanism that is personalized by the affinity of the work or the user's preference.
The background of the introduction of TOP 10 was the user test in the UK and Mexico, "In the past six months, we introduced examinations in two countries with different user attributes and found that there was a demand for rankings."According to the company, the aim is to "reduce the time to search for works and increase the time to watch."
After seeing popular works such as "Stranger Things", "Nakeda", it is a great feature for those who were worried, "What should I look at?"
In May last year, Gizmodes reported in May that "Netflix's popularity rankings have been announced only in the UK", but it may have been the hint of this.
By the way, Mexico was chosen as a test area because there is a lot of families in contrast to the United Kingdom, which is often used.For a moment, I thought it was because it was the stage of "Narcos", but is it different?
