How Netfilx Knows What You Will Watch Next

Netflix uses a sophisticated recommendation system to predict what you'll watch next. It analyzes your viewing history (what you've watched, rated, and searched for), the viewing habits of users with similar tastes, and details about the titles themselves (genre, actors, release year, etc.). Algorithms then combine this data to suggest movies and shows you're likely to enjoy, constantly learning and refining its predictions based on your activity. In short, it's a personalized prediction engine
