"HBO Max is rolling out a new rating system that allows you to share feedback about the shows and movies you watch. The streaming service will tweak your recommendations based on whether you select the "Love," "Like," or "Not For Me" options. When you say that you "Love" a show or movie, HBO Max will suggest titles to watch in a "Because You Love" carousel on the homepage, while deprioritizing titles marked as "Not For Me.""
"HBO Max first started testing the rating system as part of plans to better personalize its homepage last year. It's similar to the thumbs-up, double thumbs-up, and thumbs-down buttons that have long been offered by Netflix. The update comes just one day after HBO Max parent company Warner Bros. Discovery announced that it's ready for a sale and issued a price hike across its streaming service's plans for the third year in a row."
HBO Max will let viewers select Love, Like, or Not For Me to provide feedback on shows and movies. Selecting Love surfaces similar titles in a "Because You Love" homepage carousel. Marking Not For Me will deprioritize similar titles in recommendations. The system was tested last year as part of homepage personalization work. The controls mirror Netflix's thumbs-up/double thumbs-up/thumbs-down options. The rollout covers web, mobile, and smart TV apps. Ratings can be submitted via a "Rate" button on title pages or via a prompt after finishing playback. The change coincides with Warner Bros. Discovery's sale readiness announcement and a subscription price increase.
