Good maybe they will stop the cringeworthy articles plastered on the app
i hate movies
Same
Letterboxd is a really helpful app for keeping track of movies and finding more to watch. It is barely legible as social media. I've been using it since ~2013 and rarely engaged with that aspect of it.
yeah we hate people getting into movies and journalists getting great paydays
journalists should get a real job so f*** em
journalists should get a real job so f*** em
We should elect someone who feels this way and see how many real jobs we get in return
just about anyone that regularly uses Letterboxd likely says that the app helps them find movies and encourages them to watch more movies as a result of the (largely completely non-toxic) community in the app.
it's an app for film discovery and engaging with others' tastes. of course you're going to become more interested in the artform if you have a non-toxic space for curation and exploration.
the 'community' on letterboxd is full of completely braindead morons leaving the same unfunny comment under every single movie about how every character is gay for each other or doing the same 'its fun so i like it' surface level observations
and dont go to any movie mentioning communism over there as it is overridden by the worst possible sort of people you might encounter, literal neonazis with lowercase names and girl avis
i pray they put an option to post public reviews behind paywall at some point

50 cent voice now that would be dope
functionally the app is a complete mess as well and of course their SEO is garbage where you have to google everything plus 'letterboxd' if you want to see the link appear for any movie less popular than godfather
I love software that works and doesn’t change at all (like ktt2) and Letterboxd was that
Shame that founders couldn’t just enjoy what they got but I guess nobody’s above wanting to get paid
Once they sell it will be transformed until they can monetize it like every other media platform

And calling these hacks "journalists" is giving them too much credit.

it aint about getting paid its about the historical practice of either getting bought out to maintain your business (98% of companies) or becoming so big you start buying out others (2%)
noones buying those premiums and they'd grown massively in the last couple of years, the entire thing is probably running on fumes as we speak hence the news
