Why doesn't Netflix remember movies I've seen? [View all]

I rate every movie I watch. I watch a ton of movies) Then Netflix will recommend a movie. I'll click on it and think, "Hey, this looks familiar." I'll start watching it and then realize I've seen it before. But a thumbs up or down doesn't appear. (Don't get me started on that stupid system.) What gives?

I know, search and recommendations really don't work well Merlot Feb 2020 #11

What I don't like is that it does remember the last episode Laura PourMeADrink Feb 2020 #9

That's weird, it always remembers which episode I'm on Merlot Feb 2020 #10
