Talk about a pigeon hole...

So my Netflix is getting progressively "smarter" at telling me what movies I will like and which I won't. To the point where it no longer shows me how many stars a movie got on average, but how many stars it "thinks" I will give it based on my taste. Is that crazy? I think so.

Now it is showing me suggested genres. It started as the basics: sci/fi, romantic comedies, drama, etc. Now it is getting a little more specific - as in "Cerebral Military Movies based on real life". Apparently I like these. I'm unclear here why the first 3 words are in caps and the rest aren't. I evidently also like "Romantic British Movies Featuring a Strong Female Lead". Perhaps this genre is fully capitalized to not offend the Strong Females. Maybe Netflix heard about my tire....
