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.

Any website can be scraped if you want it badly enough.

However, tmdb is a significantly less shitty alternative, even if data isn't always as good. It also has a free API for non-commercial use, so FOSS apps can use it for free.

    The Move Database is great. Yes the info is sometimes not quite as good as amazon, but it's way more open than IMDb. You can edit info, and the api is great. I use it in the cli tool I built for myself.
