    Man, I have such mixed feelings on this.

    On one hand, it would mean that Netflix would stop trying to push shitty Bollywood films on me (seriously, if I could prevent all Hindi films from showing up on my Netflix forever, I would absolutely do that). On the other hand it would mean that the really darkly melancholic Euro films would also be off the menu.

      A lot of the good South Asian content is in the form of TV shows now. Movies (especially North Indian / Hindi) have been on the downslide for the past 10 years… I feel like shows are generally doing better than movies globally. It’s really hard to explore a topic well in ~2 hours.

      Generally if you stop watching movies from a region it will stop suggesting them to you. I watched an Italian movie once and it recommended movies from there for a week or so and then stopped.
