Designed to maximize engagement, they create feedback loops that reinforce existing preferences, often trapping users in echo chambers of similar content while limiting exposure to diverse options. Netflix reports over 80% of views come from recommendations, influencing not just choices but long-term habits.https://help.netflix.com/en/node/100639 https://medium.com/@the.millennial.report.31/the-dark-side-of-streaming-how-content-algorithms-are-changing-what-we-watch-5968b45554ee https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-56085924
