With the right channels I regularly discover amazing movies, series and documentaries that I’d probably never choose to watch if I had access to them on a streaming platform (which I don’t).
The surprise effect is way better and I just think that when used wisely, TV can deliver much more than streaming.
I’m aware of platforms like FilmIn that offer non-commercial content but I still like the channels to suggest me some tmovies to watch.
The problem is that it will only recommend content based on my previous watch history. It will not recommend me new topics I have never heard or shown interest about and surprise me with something new that might also be interesting or important.
exactly. I don’t want an algorithm to suggest me stuff (or not always anyway). Sometimes I want to watch something the algorithm would never suggest me.
