I just assumed the Netflix top 10 were movies/shows they were trying to push, not based on actual veiwership.
I don't get why the streaming services would care what media people watch. Are they pushing stuff that is cheaper to license?
They want to get recommendations just good enough to keep you hooked. If they show you just the objectively best, you would instantly know after seeing the best ones, that the rest of the catalogue is worse and worse.
This is how Netflix was in the beginning. I actually unsubscribed for a while for yhis reason. Now I'm as hooked as ever, there might still be a few good ones out there - I just need to keep scrolling for a few hours. /s
