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.

    Yep. Found that out a couple weeks ago for the same reason. I’m not giving them my data just to read some reviews. There’s literally no reason to hide those behind a login other than to harvest your info and viewing habits.

      But they already have your info and habits, that’s all pretty easy to gather with ip logs and cookies. They want even more, and they want you to have to ask them to delete it

        Amazon already knows everything about you from your buying habits, down to menstrual cycles and toilet cleaning. What’s your favourite films on top of it?

        (I hate Amazon, finally deleted my decades old IMDb account a while back. Now if only I could rid myself of Amazon… They’ve not fulfilled a single order for me correctly since 2020 so it’s not even the ease that counts any more… One day!)

          Do it now. You will not regret it. There are alternatives for everything. Including just doing less online shopping.

          Almost anything you can find on Amazon, you can also find on Ebay. And sometimes Ebay is actually cheaper.
