Netflix tweeted that 53 people had watched its new Christmas film every day for 18 days in a row, highlighting its ability to track the viewing habits of its users:
Netflix has defended a tweet that revealed 53 people had watched its new Christmas film every day for 18 days in a row. "Who hurt you?" read the tweet, addressed to them.
The tweet caused controversy, with some saying it was "creepy" of the platform to keep such close tabs on its audience, and mock their choices. However, others found it entertaining - and unsurprising that Netflix should know what its customers were viewing.
In a statement, Netflix said the privacy of its members was important. "This information represents overall viewing trends, not the personal viewing information of specific, identified individuals," said a representative.

I was thinking that's a really small number of people, but realized they'd been watching the movie every day for 18 days. Still not a terribly high number of people considering how often my Wife plays certain things for my kiddo. It's typically a particular show / movie, nearly every day. Kiddo still gets plenty of outdoors / play time, but there's not a whole lot of switching around once she's found something the kiddo likes.
