Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
To those not familiar with the hilarious Fern Brady: there's probably absolutely miniscule overlap between people who like her style of comedy and those who like hacks like Iglesias and Dunham.
No clue about Gilmore Girls fandom overlap, though.
That's like saying "oh, you like gummy bears? I bet you also like pasta carbonara!" ๐
Oh you like gummy bears? Here is some peanut brittle, a loaf of bread, and the definitive repair manual for the 1964 Studebaker Avanti.
Its almost like a recommendation engine didn't actually watch content... Oh wait
Hey! I like gummy bears and carbonara (not together though).
You're not into spaghetti a la Grammi Gummi?
Let's be honest: neither of us have tried it.
Please please please: you first.
Same here. For completely different reasons, though, just like I like Fern Brady and Gilmore Girls for completely different reasons, and would never recommend one based on the other ๐
But the recommendation is not based on show genre, it's based on user behavior. That means that people who enjoy that show usually enjoy that other one.
Or people who watch one stand up special usually watch another because Netflix recommends it, pushing specific ones like those two extra hard.
The algorithm is weighted towards recommending specific shows more than others more than towards the taste of the viewer.
Just like how Facebook, Twitter and YouTube tend to push people towards far right political content, Netflix has been (unsuccesfully) trying REALLY hard to make me like Iglesias, Dunham, Rob Schneider, and other comedians of both stage and screen for over a decade now ๐
These algorithms are sold as almost prescient oracles that know our preference more than we do.
Perhaps people who watch this also watch that because that's what you recommended.
There's videos on YouTube that have been pushed on me over & over even when I click not interested.
Is this image funny because all three of those things are trash?
More because of the extreme incongruity with Fern Brady, who's ostensibly the reason for the recommendations lol.
And I kinda liked Gilmore Girls back in the day, though I agree 100% on the other two ๐
I will not stand for this Gabriel Iglesias slander โ
Sit down for it then, his comedy sucks ๐คท
Gilmore Girls is popular in autistic circles because of Paris (the character). She is never specifically called autistic but, like Abed in Community, her character is a very accurate representation.
That makes sense, then. Or it WOULD if the Netflix algorithm was anywhere near that smart ๐
That makes a ton of sense. She was excellent and I particularly liked seeing an obviously autistic woman on screen.
Fern was absolutely brilliant in Taskmaster btw
It's me Fern Brady, me Fern Brady...
