What is this shit and when did they implement it? Why does READING require a fucking login and how does it "keep IMDb's reviews a space for genuine, human voices."
>>
both animated Spiderman movies are in the top 50 movies of all time on imdb
>>
>>220241789
Imdb is a website for Indians
Letterboxd is a website for women
>>
>>220241789
Why would anyone use IMDB after they got rid of the forums?
>>
>>220241789
They did? Fandom pulled the same shit too.
>>
>>220241789
They locked it because half the “reviews” were bots and the other half were SEO farms copy‑pasting the same 200 words about “visceral performances.” Now Bezos wants you logged in so they can tie your capeshit takes to your Amazon account and sell you a Funko.

“Genuine human voices” = email required so they can harvest data. You’re not the customer, you’re the product.
>>
every corporation wants to harvest data as an additional revenue stream and will attempt to force you to surrender personal information using any excuse they can think of.

>>220241789
Combo of this >>220243754 and the faggots in the industry tired of being criticized for making faggot movies. By hiding the reviews they can also more readily curate/remove reviews without backlash.
>>
The comments on those random video game wikis are locked behind a sign in as well.

what d'you do?

Websites are being scraped by AI bots that hit thousands of times per minute. Bandwith costs money. Logins put a speedbump on AI scrapers.
