Are there any good alternatives anyone can recommend?

Do you think it's a prelude to in a year or so wanting age verification on accounts?

    I've been using Letterboxd for a while now and am pretty happy with it.

    My only issue with letterboxd is they pull from TheMovieDB for metadata/director verification and TMDB has some exclusionary/gatekeeping policy where they don't consider films released primarily on Youtube eligible. This has fucked over indie directors like Joel Haver. I think his fans have manually intervened but no policy has changed that I know of.

    Bummer that they do that. Any platform that you can recommend that addresses that issue and is user-friendly?

    On NeoDB, you can create entries yourself, as well as import from various sources: IMDb, TMDB, Letterboxd, Douban etc
