An inside look at how Netflix's use of data led to generic "algorithm films" intended for broad appeal, with AI set to further entrench the production style (Phil Hoad/The Guardian)

Bland, easy to follow, for fans of everything: what has the Netflix algorithm done to our films?
When the streaming giant began making films guided by data that aimed to please a vast audience, the results were often generic, forgettable, artless affairs. But is there a happy ending?Phil Hoad (The Guardian)
This is sad. When the streaming services first came out, they provided access to so many quality TV shows and movies. I thought it was pretty cool when they started producing content of their own.
The quality of these offerings has devolved. I have not watched the films mentioned in the article. I checked them out, but they looked like crap.

En actualizaciones ñoñísticas/friki/geek, les cuento que estoy haciendo pruenas de interacción entre wordpress y algunas plataformas del fediverso y se ve bastante bien como funciona, al menos con las mas usadas.
when I enter my server name I get « 404: Not Found
GoToSocial only serves Public statuses via the web.
If you reached this page by clicking on a status link, it's likely that the status is not Public. »
I have to say, I have 3 federated Wordpress sites and never had to use a button like that… basically when you follow a blog on the Fediverse and reply to it from here, the comments sync seamlessly…
So the problem with GoToSocial is that it doesn't have a client part. It's a pure server and you need a different client app to access it (e.g. Phanpy, Elk, or one of the many mobile apps).
That is why the reply link doesn't work. There's simply no API for it, even though the server itself is mostly compatible with Mastodon, this part will never work. 🙂
I don't think it gets mentioned very often and in reality it isn't much of a hindrance. But I also only learned about it from the docs when I was already committed to deploying it. 😅
@elena @gotosocial @carloshr
yes there are no native clients but wonderful options like masto-fe, elk.zone and Phanpy (I cycle between the three)
I really appreciate your support. Thanks a lot! 🙏✌🏻
