Netflix introduces ‘two-thumps’ rating option

Netflix has introduced Double Thumbs Up, an additional way for members to let the streamer know what types of series and films you want to see more. You can find this option next to the Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down buttons on your TV, web, Android and iOS mobile devices starting April 11.

 

Netflix’s current Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down buttons are a good way for you to let the streamer know how you feel about a series or film, and in return, you get a profile that is better personalised to your taste. 

 

“However, we have learned over time that these feelings can go beyond a simple like or dislike.  Providing an additional way to tell us when you are really into something means a profile with recommendations that had better reflect what you enjoy,” said Christine Doig-Cardet, director of product innovation, Netflix. 

 

Consider Double Thumbs Up as a way to fine-tune your recommendations to see even more series or films influenced by what you love. A Thumbs Up still lets us know what you liked, so Netflix uses this response to make similar recommendations. But, a Double Thumbs Up tells the streamer what you loved and helps it get even more specific with your recommendations. For example, if you loved Bridgerton, you might see even more shows or films starring the cast, or from Shondaland.
