Netflix is the leader in streaming content. But that doesn&#039;t mean it does not have its fair share of glitches and areas to improve in.

Ways Netflix Can Learn to Curate Better Content From MUBI and Spotify

Netflix US has over 2,247 TV series and at least 3,846 movies as of this
writing. That is far more stuff than anyone could possibly consume. Nonetheless,
finding enjoyable stuff remains a challenge. When you consider the several extra
streaming providers, the situation becomes even worse. The situation is so
severe that Netflix doomscrolling has become a legitimate meme.

It’s not like Netflix hasn’t had its fair share of box office smashes.  House of
Cards, Dark, Ozark, [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ozark/] Stranger Things, and
even Bridgerton [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/bridgerton/] have all become
culturally significant. The service, on the other hand, commissions and rapidly
cancels ten tween-focused series for every Stranger Things
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/]. The signal-to-noise ratio has
flaws. As it favors derivative material rather than blockbuster IPs with
long-term effects. But there are others who have solved this problem. And maybe
Netflix can learn from them.


NETFLIX CAN MAKE ITS CONTENT RECOMMENDATIONS BETTER

Netflix’s instant-gratification strategy exacerbates the problem of substandard
programming. Netflix basically invented the notion of binge-watching shows from
the beginning. Why wait a week for an episode when you can binge-watch the
entire season? Sure, finishing a performance on the first day and being able to
talk about it with friends provides some immediate enjoyment.

However, if the standard for content quality isn’t set high enough, it risks
lowering the product’s shelf life. There’s a risk of alienation if there’s
nothing to keep people engaged and coming back to the service. Netflix’s
data-driven strategy of discovering popular content works effectively. It
cannot, however, measure the emotional impact of the film.

Although genre tags may imply that two horror films should be put together,
there is considerably more depth involved. Bringing up recommendations based on
commonly watched content isn’t enough to keep moviegoers interested.


WHAT ARE OTHER STREAMING PLATFORMS DOING?

Mubi [https://mubi.com], on the other hand, provides a thought-provoking
cinematic experience despite its niche character and restricted reach. This is
due to the human curation that goes into picking each movie that is put on the
site.

Spotify, the Netflix of the music streaming industry confronts a similar
challenge, but it manages to avoid it through user-led curating. This problem
might take some time but will surely help the streaming service to earn or
retain more subscribers in the future.
