> contributing to the art form of film

Has netflix ever committed to this vision? I would be hell bored if Netflix is filled with Oscar-ish films.

One thing to note here is, the tech community is inherently elitist, in a way many envision tech as a tool to doctrine its audience, telling them what is good or bad. I don't find this mindset, either helpful nor necessary.

Recommendation engine is the new soda machine, choices are offered, and you pick what delights you. Ofc you can choose water, but it is not the machine's fault some would like real coke.

I think it's a bit of straw man to conflate "the art form of film" with mainstream oscar bait.
