Netflix’s Rise
In 2009, Netflix decided that it wanted to build its recommendation system based on data analysis like other tech companies at that time, such as Google, Amazon, YouTube, and many others. So, they asked 480,000 users to rate 17,770 movies, and they got 100,480,507 ratings.
So, they started to analyze the data, make patterns, and understand what the user may watch based on their history and the movies and shows they like and follow. Nowadays, Netflix’s recommendation system analyzes over 30 million daily “plays,” as well as over 4 million subscriber ratings and 3 million searches, allowing them to make successful bets on producing widely-acclaimed hits such as “House of Cards.”
