Netflix kills "Surprise Me" feature

Netflix quietly killed its "Surprise Me" shuffle feature less than two years after its launch, Wall Street Journal reports.

A Netflix spokeswoman told the publication that the feature was dropped in January 2023 due to relatively low use.

Good, go ****ing surprise yourself..

 

[Skerminkel]

Good riddance. By the time you have scrolled to Surprise, they have already recommended the same 5 titles 10 times over.

You got surprised with stuff you already watched.

I have never used this feature, but is there a lot of overhead behind the scenes to keep it?

 

[TelkomUseless]

Never used it.

 

[Grubscrew]

Never even knew if it existed.

Oh, OK
