I'm mainly talking about anime shows but you can talk about overall all shows if you want to and this will be valid too. I'm looking for answers to the following questions:

•What do you use for tracking progress of shows you watch?

•What are the pros and cons of how you're tracking your shows, and is it worth it to be tracking shows this way? (If you're using a site for tracking, then mention the pros and cons of it with the name of the site)

Note: You can include more of your opinion and experience besides the questions' answers if you want to

Anime - AniList with the MAL-sync browser extension
TV/movies - Simkl

Pros:

MAL-sync provides automatic tracking for anime/manga but it’s limited to certain websites
AniList is just a better MAL
Simkl has some nice list features

Cons:

I have to update Simkl manually
I don't have a way to automatically update AniList if I download anime, but its still more convenient to use the extension to update manually anyways
Simkl bugs you to buy premium
Neither of the sites are open-source

I had a MAL too but deleted it in a few days due to the bad UI. Then I made a AniList account and it's the watchlist service I use most (although, my watchlist isn't even much consistent but still). Then I tried Simkl and Trakt. In terms to Simkl, Aside from the bad UI, the only reason I haven't deleted it is because of the great importing feature. But I don't use it much. In terms of Trakt, I don't use it much either.
