About the Episode

In this episode of YourTechReport, Marc Aflalo sits down with Sean Bradley, the mastermind behind Watchworthy, the AI-powered app that’s changing how we discover movies and TV shows. Tired of endlessly scrolling through streaming services only to settle for something mediocre? Watchworthy’s personalized recommendations and worthy scores cut through the noise, saving you time and frustration.

Sean shares how Ranker’s millions of user votes power Watchworthy’s data-driven rec engine, why traditional recommendation systems fail, and how their latest feature—Worthy Services—even helps users decide which streaming subscriptions are worth keeping.

We also dive into the psychology of why decision fatigue makes streaming exhausting, how AI is shaping the future of entertainment discovery, and why critics’ reviews don’t actually matter to your personal taste.
