Is Netflix getting a little too personal with the way they give viewers their fave shows and movies? That's what the internet seems to think... 

When Out in Tech cofounder Lukas Thoms noticed that he and his straight friend Andrew each had a different viewing order for the episodes of the popular streaming service's newest sci-fi anthology series Love, Death & Robots, he took to Twitter to share his discovery with everyone.

After Thoms' tweet got some viral attention, Netflix responded, confirming that while Love, Death & Robots does actually have different ways to watch the series (there are four, apparently), a user's episode order isn't based on things like sexuality, gender, or race because they don't have access to that kind of information from viewers. 

"We've never had a show like Love, Death & Robots before so we're trying something completely new: presenting four different episode orders," Netflix tweeted. "The version you're shown has nothing to do with gender, ethnicity, or sexual identity—info we don't even have in the first place."

After speaking with someone at Netflix, Thoms was able to confirm that different episode orders for Love, Death & Robots are completely random, and not based on a viewer's sexuality.
