Year ago, Netflix has a "Not Interested" option.

If Netflix was recommending something that you didn't care about, you could use "Not Interested" to make it not show up in your list anymore.

Now, it just keeps recommending these same content over and over again. There's no way to say "I don't want to watch that". There's also no variety to the suggestions.

I agree that "decision fatigue" is a big deal for me.

Recommendations used to seem to be affected by your ratings. That may still be the case to some extent, but Netflix's preferences seem to be way, way more important now.

That aside, I don't live in the USA so it would be nice if Netflix stopped claiming that USA content was local, and non-USA foreign. It's not just their recommendation system that is poor, their general categorisation also is.
