Netflix will pay you to watch Netflix all day
For those who already watch Netflix like it’s their job, Netflix is now offering you the chance to make it your job: The company is searching for a Tagger, one of the elite few who are tasked with reviewing Netflix content, then assigning it to categories such as “Suspenseful Rogue-Cop Movies” and “Goofy TV Shows Set Inside A Man’s Head Where All The Emotions Are Represented As People. Herman’s Head. You’re Thinking Of Herman’s Head. Just Search For Herman’s Head (O Results Found).” Unfortunately, the job is only available in the UK; then again, your specific surroundings don’t matter, seeing as you won’t be spending any time outside.
According to the job posting, applicants will be responsible for watching Netflix’s movie and TV content—including Netflix originals, which they will be the first to see—after which you will “deconstruct the films and programs and describe them using objective tags.” Those tags will then go into Netflix’s algorithms, which help generate the personalized suggestions and recommendations that keep subscribers who aren’t getting paid to do so watching Netflix all day.
