Abstract

This article examines the mutual domestication of users and recommendation algorithms on Netflix. Based on 25 interviews with users and an inductive analysis of their practices and profiles on the platform, we discuss five dynamics through which this mutual domestication occurs: personalization, or the ways in which individualized relationships between users and the platform are built; how algorithmic recommendations are integrated into a matrix of cultural codes; the rituals through which they are incorporated into spatial and temporal processes in daily life; the resistance to various aspects of Netflix as a form to enact agency; and the conversion or transformation of the private consumption of the platform into a public issue. The conclusion elaborates on the theoretical and analytical implications of this approach, to rethink the relationship between algorithms and culture.
Netflix用户与算法推荐的相互驯化
本文研究了Netflix上用户和推荐算法的相互驯化。基于对25位用户的访谈和对他们在平台上的实践和概况的归纳分析,我们讨论了这种相互驯化发生的五个动力:个性化,或者用户与平台之间建立个性化关系的方式;如何将算法推荐整合到文化代码矩阵中;他们通过仪式融入日常生活的空间和时间过程;对Netflix作为一种制定机构形式的各个方面的抵制;以及将平台的私人消费转化或转化为公共问题。结论部分详细阐述了这种方法的理论和分析意义,重新思考算法与文化之间的关系。
