Change 4: He showed her the secret category codes.

He typed one URL into her browser: https://t.co/SvkuVh46rq. A page of horror movies appeared that had never shown up on her homepage.

He explained that Netflix organizes its entire catalog of 8,000+ titles using over 2,200 hidden category codes. Noir thrillers. Cult sci-fi. Deep sea horror. Gentle British reality TV. Witchcraft documentaries. Gritty courtroom dramas. Tearjerkers. 90-minute comedies. Movies directed by women. Two-hour action films.

None of these categories appear on the homepage. The algorithm decides which 30 or so genre rows you see based on what it thinks will keep you scrolling. The other 2,170 categories exist in a parallel universe you access by typing a number into a URL.

He bookmarked https://t.co/7W0xZYK7og on her browser and told her to search "Netflix secret codes" whenever she felt stuck. She went from "there's nothing to watch" to spending 45 minutes browsing categories she didn't know existed. The library didn't change. Her access to it did.

It's been ages since I've even thought of Foucault.
“What Is an Author?” in 1969. But he seemed to sense it coming. “We can easily imagine a culture where discourse would circulate without any need for an author,” he wrote.

@ok6ixx People in a relatively dense neighborhood think they are helping when putting out food for “strays” or hovels for stray cats to stay warm. There are no strays. You make it difficult for the real humans responsible for the cats. Please don’t feed unless you KNOW it’s a stray.

Hi everybody — I recently received a kidney transplant from a generous living donor, and I'm already feeling better. Back to normal in a few months, so get ready for more music and Daryl's House shows. You all take care! Love, D
