Just wanted to check some user reviews for a serie, now IMDB forces me to create an account. Such bullshit to read some reviews. No fucking way. Fuck corporate enshittification. Fuck IMDB. Fuck Amazon.

I've been using tmdb out of spite since they brought this shitty change in. Less reviews, but I can be the change I want to see, and submit reviews here myself

Isn't tmdb prone to the same enshittification if it gets enough traction?

As is everything that isnt open source

Just checked for 2 minutes and immediately noticed clearly astroturfed fake and AI reviews.

I deleted my decades old IMDb account recently and migrated here. Meager protest against Amazon, I know, but tmdb is definitely good enough. Don't miss a thang.

see also Letterboxd for just reviews

[โ€“] Nangijala@feddit.dk 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I dunno, man. Letterboxd is the movie version of goodreads. It's not a reliable place to find good movies in my opinion. Can be, if you follow reviewers whose opinions you trust, but personally, I only use Letterboxd to catalogue movies I have seen. If I read reviews, it's mostly for shits and giggles as most of them are shitpostings anyways.
