Customers Who Watched This Also Watched...
On streaming services like NetFlix and Amazon, accompanying the listings of available movies they tend to have little recommendations for additional similar movies you might be interested in watching later with the preface: "Customers who watched this also watched..." (And then they provide a list of other movies other people watched.) I wonder how people might feel if this instead said something like: "Customers who watched this also watched you undress through your bathroom window using binoculars" or "Customers who watched this also watched you masturbate to online porn through your webcam"? And I'm even more curious to know what movies might elicit that kind of comparison. (Maybe something like Rear Window, or Body Double, for instance?)
