Washington D.C. is a great example of this.
While looking at residential location choice, around 10 years ago, you could discern a boundary (Georgia Ave in those days).
Netflix used to show the most popular movies by zip code, and one side of the boundary it was "Mamma Mia" and the other "Tyler Perry".
Ah, then try to never, ever watch Mamma Mia to keep it that way. It uses almost only ABBA music.
This movie has etched the song with the same name so deep into my brain that the moment I hear the first "Mamma Mia", I drop any thought and internally starts to hum "here I go again, my my...". I don't know why, I didn't even like the movie! :D
I agree. I think there are really two levels of privacy. I would like to keep my Netflix preferences private in the sense of not posting it on my website (or Facebook or whatever). But, if someone was interested in sinking enough effort to deanonymise me so that they can embarrass me by revealing that despite my sophisticated world-cinema sub-titled exterior I did, in fact, rent Mamma Mia last weekend - well, I would just pity them for not having a life.
In other words, privacy through obscurity is probably enough for most people in this case, and so asking people whether they want to opt out of the program is good enough - I think most people would stay in. Netflix can always pick another person in that age/gender/geographical bucket to replace a person who decided to opt out.
