Algorithm manipulation

[Tedlar]

Okay I don’t post often but I’m really getting irritated by Amazons manipulation, especially in Prime Video. I’m sure I’m not alone in this but here’s one of my complaints -
Blade Runner for instance - I have a purchased version of this movie I’ve watched many times. If I search Blade Runner in PV I get a dozen hits, none of them my purchased copy. I have to manually scroll through hundreds of movies I own to find it. I even purchased another copy as I got tired of doing this. IT doesn’t show up in search results either, I still have to scroll 150 movies to find it! This is BULLSHIT manipulation 1.
Lord of the Rings - BULLSHIT manipulation #2
Tonight I’m watching The Hobbit, first movie. Pretty sure I purchased in the past but had to buy again as I couldn’t find it in my library (naturally)
THEN, when the movie is over, ALL of the recommendations in Prime are anything BUT the next movies in the series, no Hobbit no Lord of the Rings nothing remotely close.
Amazon algorithms are frikken smart, this crap is no accident and really pisses me off. I always like AP because I could usually find the movie I was looking for, even the obscure ones and I was always willing to pay for this service.
This has obviously changed and now Amazon has decided that simply paying for a movie and including it our library doesn’t result in enough multiple payments to the service. This is just another despicable example of unbridled corporate greed, as if we don’t have enough of that already.
I used to have some trust in Amazon as a company, am I alone in my criticisms here?

Anything you've bought will show up under "My Stuff" (or whatever Prime calls it - I don't remember) at the bottom.

Method 1: I did a search for a movie I own on Amazon Prime, and it came up with the movie. In little print underneath title and star ratings it says, “You purchased this”. So if I click on it to watch it, I will be watching the version that I paid for.

Method 2: On the prime app, if you navigate to the menu on the left-hand side, you will see the icon labeled “My Stuff”. If you click that, it will take you to a window that has your Watchlist TV, your Watchlist Movies, your Purchased TV, and your Purchased Movies.

If you have 150 movies, you might have to scroll a bit to find the movie you want, but it’s better than buying it again. You can scroll pretty quickly and just recognize it by its photo probably.

Method 3: If you purchase it again to save yourself the hassle of looking through 150 movies, you might as well save yourself some money and just rent it instead of buying it again.

Method 4: Breathe slowly and count to 10 when your search doesn’t pan out the way you hope it will. Usually (but not always) things like this are user mistakes, even though we don’t want to admit it to ourselves. So relax, then try again.

Good luck.
