I Netflix being a subscriptions V.O.D it makes it easier to see who is watching what and what device they are using. Netflix has 117.58 million worldwide streaming customers. As Netflix is strongly based on recommendation algorithm it's all about creating a pattern in the viewers choice and altering their shows an viewership accordingly (Vanderbilt, 2013). Unlike, any other broadcasters Netflix gives that peer-to peer architecture where the shows and movies are depending on the trend and demand of its audience which is also shaped by your geolocation (Wu and Chang, 2015). According to Vanderbilt, there are 800 Netflix engineers who work in shaping what we watch and almost 75% of what we watch is recommendations based on your activity (2013).

But also what device you are using and time log is also included in their data feeding machines to optimise viewers' experience (Vanderbilt, 2013).
