Why might Netflix have sabotaged its own user account Ratings section?

Asked by Zaku (30372points) January 15th, 2017

I just got off the phone with Netflix customer support, and they confirmed this but had nothing to say about why. Can anyone think of a reason?

* Netflix lets you give your own (1 to 5 star) ratings on titles.
* You can see a list of the ratings you’ve given, sorted by when you gave the rating.
* You used to be able to sort that list by the rating you gave, so you could see your own favorite (or least favorite) titles. THEY NO LONGER ALLOW THIS.
* Now several recently-watched titles on my list just show MOVIE or SHOW and the rating, but not what the title was.

This was one of the features I rather liked about Netflix, and as a programmer I know it is DIRT EASY to implement and there is NO VALID technical excuse for not allowing this.

So can anyone think why the @%*# they would sabotage their own basic feature this way?
