These Netflix “cheat” codes will help you defeat the algorithm to discover and unlock more content to watch.
Netflix is the leading streaming platform today. It offers an unfathomable amount of movies, anime, documentaries, TV series, Music, and original productions. So much so, however, that it can be daunting to even try to access the content you would want to watch.
Netflix does have an algorithm that surfaces and recommends specific movies and genres based on what you have previously watched. But it does not work great and even if it did, there would be no way to get out of your “watching bubble.”
So how do you go out of your watching habits? How do you avoid the next big push for a Netflix original production and really dig deep to find the content you really want to be watching?
You use the very way Netflix was built, that is how. Every subgenre within Netflix has its own ID code. In a reverse way, these codes allow you to go and find pretty much any subgenre you are looking for. And that way, you may even unearth previously “locked” content you did not even know existed on the platform.
All you have to do is log into your Netflix account from your laptop or desktop and type in www.netflix.com/browse/genre/XXXX where XXXX will be the code for the subgenre you want to explore.
And you’re in luck because we have listed ALL of the subgenres codes below. YAY!
