What the F is up with IMDB? (lemmy.zip)

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?

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.
