Rai Play, Netflix, first: how to reset the “terrible” advice of your streaming platform

By Dr. Kyle Muller

Here’s how to restore a “tailor -made” feed when the algorithm of your favorite streaming platform loses the compass.

It can happen to sit on the sofa in the evening, turn on the TV and find the homepage of your favorite streaming app invaded by titles that do not reflect their tastes. Maybe it was enough that a child looked at some episodes of an animated series for teenagers, or that he clicked by mistake on a reality show, for Make the compass lose the algorithm. The automatic suggestions of the streaming platforms are based on the chronology of the user and, if altered, can become frustrating or useless. Fortunately, there are methods – other than service service – To reset everything and start from scratch, restoring a tailor -made feed. Let’s see how to do it, on a case -by -case basis.

Netflix

The most famous platform in the world is also the one with multiple customization options, however it is necessary Tune in to desktop. By accessing the site, you have to click on the profile icon at the top right and select Manage profiles. From there you enter your own and you can choose whether to hide, one by one, the titles seen (by clicking on the circle -shaped icons) or whether to do You all hideremoving them completely.

It is an effective method to reset the advice, but you can do better: Using the inches up and down that appear to pass the mouse on the miniatures of the films or TV series, you can express your preferences e further perfect the algorithm. If, on the other hand, a radical reset, the ideal is to create a new profilealways from the section Manage profilesclicking on Add profile and following some simple instructions.

Amazon Prime Video

Jeff Bezos’ giant allows you to remove content from the chronology, but with some more step than Netflix. By connecting – also in this case – from the web, first you have to click on your avatar in the upper right and then select Account and Settings. In the viewing chronology You can eliminate films or individual episodesbut – sore note – There is no function to erase everything in bulk. Here too, however, it is possible to follow the same rapid alternative proposed previously, that is to create a new profile. Just click on the Avatar again and then on Add newfollowing the instructions, and in a few seconds the system forgets everything that had been seen until then.

Disney Plus

In this case there is little to do. Disney Plus It is one of the few platforms not to allow the modification of the chronology or recommendations.

Each displayed content remains stored and it is not even possible to leave feedback (like “like” or “I don’t like”). The only small action available is that of Click on the circle with the stop next to the titles of the section Keep watchingto remove them from there. But to get a really clean and updated feed, there is only one road, and it is always that: Create a new profile. To do this, you need to click on the image at the top right and choose Add profilethen select an avatar and a name … and everything starts from scratch.

Now

Now (ex now TV, Sky) is one of the main choices in Italy for the viewer TV series, cinema and sports. To customize the recommendations, however, unfortunately there is no direct function that allows reset or to change the algorithm of the suggestions. However, it is possible manage the contents displayed through the section Keep watching. On mobile or web devices, just click on the three dots next to the title and select Remove from the list. This prevents that content from affecting recommendations. To start from scratch, you can also create a new profile, an option available only if you access compatible devices such as Smart TV or some consoles.

Raiplay

The Rai streaming platform offers free content without the need for subscription. The recommendations are based on the programs seen, but the system is very simple and not very personalized. To clean up the chronology, just access your profile from the site or app, enter the section Look again and click on Remove you Next to the titles you want to eliminate. There is no option to cancel all the chronology in one fell swoop, nor a particularly sophisticated algorithm, but eliminating the contents displayed can help make the proposals a little more neutral. Also in this case, creating a new profile can offer a cleaner restart.
