has launched a worldwide test of “Shuffle Play,” a feature for indecisive subscribers that starts streaming a random title based on their viewing history or playlists.
The idea, of course, is to provide yet another way to encourage Netflix users to watch more content on the service — even if they don’t know what, exactly, they want to watch — and potentially get hooked on a new TV show or movie. Currently, “Shuffle Play” is being tested only on connected-TV devices.
“The purpose of the test is to make it easier for members to find something to watch,” a Netflix spokesperson said. The company plans to use the findings from the test to eventually roll out a “shuffle” feature permanently on Netflix: “The hope is to absolutely productize something,” the rep said. The titles served up by Netflix when you hit “Shuffle Play” will be either shows or movies similar to ones you’ve watched previously; titles in genres you’ve viewed; or content you have saved in the “My List” section.
Available worldwide to a portion of Netflix’s user base, the “Shuffle Play” button shows up in one of three places : underneath the profile row in the startup screen; in the “billboard” area on the home screen of a user’s profile; or on the TV menu sidebar., which was available for select TV shows. The company then began a second round of testing in July 2020 globally with “Shuffle Play.

netflix netflix still trying to figure out the discovery challenge
netflix I like this actually
netflix Why?
netflix This has been going on for a long time now. You guys are late.
netflix Nah.
netflix The idea of a personalised channel seemed cool... well over half a decade ago when Kodi had a plugin that did this. It was more robust (had various customisable channels) and it still turned out to be pointless after the novelty wore off.

netflix What happened to episode shuffle? I loved that feature
netflix Had Similar idea recently where Netflix had a “Livetv” channel that plays movies/tv on a schedule akin to television. Could create exposure to titles and give people a more foundation vs endless scrolling through titles.
PresidentPat netflix No
netflix I said they needed this feature years ago. netflix I’m available for hire 🤓
netflix Since Netflix is super vague about what counts as a watch I'm guessing a lot of the upcoming expensive Netflix productions that no one watches are about to get huge boost in 'views'.
netflix Yes smart. But you also need it WITHIN a series.
netflix but what are the chances ....
netflix netflix NO absolutely not. Fix your problems & stop canceling good shows. Don’t add unnecessary and horribly features that NO one wants. I do not want to watch anything randomly.
netflix it would eliminate selection fatigue. i was just wondering when people would demand ads in movies to make the service for them free.
netflix this is so fucked up on so many levels
netflix Hate that.
