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 had an IMDb account longer than some Netizens have been alive. I feel like the Fediverse angles older, though, so I should be careful how I word it here. Popular social networks, though? Easy claim. Though, I feel like when people capitalise the B at the end, they might be younger? But I just checked and the B is definitely still lowercase, so I'm not sure where they got that it was upper.

That said, I got rid of the app a while ago. I just browse to it in Safari (iPhone) or Firefox (Mac) now. The app is trash. I've migrated my data to TMDB, but the site's not quite as good and lacks information, so I use both. (TMDB does not have an app. There's an app on the App Store, but it's not official and it sucks. So it's browser-only for now.)

Yeah I had a teenaged account as well. It's gone now. I don't really need any interaction from the website, just tracking, so TMDb is more than fine for my purposes.

i had one back in the earliest of days and used to add missing data to credits. i still occasionally catch myself trying to use 'us.imdb.com' as its address.
