A user found his Netflix homepage haunted by his ex-girlfriend's taste 14 months after their breakup, full of rom-coms and K-dramas he never chose. The algorithm seemed to hold onto the relationship longer than they did. Assuming a new account was the only fix, his roommate, a data engineer, revealed Netflix allows deleting entire viewing history to reset the algorithm from scratch, erasing the 'ex-girlfriend's fingerprints' in just 10 minutes.
