A Scrappy Top 6 Netflix Titles Analysis

Disclaimer:
The following is not a peer reviewed academic publication.
The purpose of this article is to make the reader consider why the visual treatment of these materials came to be, not to provide a concrete answer or suggestion.

It was a week of reckless deicsions. But I stopped myself from some more damaging ones, and instead I sourced this screenshot from lots of people after I pointed out this type of effect to someone earlier this week:

A screenshot of 1–6 on the top 10 in the US Today on Netflix as of October 23rd 2020

Companies like Netflix, Hulu, Disney, Amazon, etc all have promotional materials that they utilize on their streaming platforms to get you to click. Last week I wrote an article about one that went wrong. But I got a lot of follow up about promotion materials for more general situations.

So I have made this article. Which basically goes through a (semi) brief analysis of some of the trends of 38 people’s “Top 10 in the US Today” on October 23rd along with how I did it.

Also — if you contributed THANK YOU!!

Anyways…Steps to this…insanity.

1. Decide to not text your ex and instead to write an article and analysis
2. Pick a category/small subset of a thing (in this case, US Top 10)
3. Solicit/collect the data
4. Clean/organize/prep the data
