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'd say everything needs to be federated so one company doesn't get to be a single broker of information

    Does you argument also apply to Wikipedia and Musicbrainz?
    They are both open (Musicbrainz is even public domain) and you can download the entirety of the database
    Both are crowdsourced pieces of knowledge

    To a lesser degree, you can also get the data of TMDB with some workarounds (example: developer.themoviedb.org)
    So they arent exactly locked into their knowledge vault and can be downloaded daily just in case of a bail/bait and switch
