Shudder and the Aesthetics and Platform Logics of Genre-Specific SVOD services

Jessica Balanzategui et al.

Summary: This article examines the horror-focused SVOD service Shudder and highlights how these genre-specific SVOD services curate content differently from major services like Netflix.

'Unique joy': Netflix, pleasure and the shaping of queer taste

Clara Bradbury-Rance

Summary: This article focuses on the concept of the 'Netflix imaginary' and its impact on our perception of queer tastes and legibility in contemporary visual culture. While Netflix promotes itself as a champion of LGBTQ inclusivity and diversity, the article looks beyond popular LGBTQ 'Netflix Originals' and explores how our exploration of the platform's content disrupts and surprises queer attachments and recommendations. It argues that while the 'Netflix imaginary' promises personalization, it often generates confusion and astonishment. However, this uncanny algorithmic intervention can also create its own sense of amusement, entertainment, and queer pleasure. By examining Netflix's reliance on collaborative filtering, algorithmic signposting, and customer agency, the article proposes employing a queer method to subversively engage with Netflix's representational inconsistencies and shortcomings, transforming Netflix itself into a queer method for redefining queer tastes.
