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.

Amazon also owns IGDB (game database), Goodreads (books), and so on. For music data, they just support MusicBrainz which is open source, open license, and independent database. MusicBrainz have pilot project for books database, but it’s not as good as Goodreads or other DB yet.
I knew about Goodreads but not the others. Enshittification, indeed.
Some other sites to check out: Discogs (all music) and VGMdb (video game music). I don’t know about ownership.
Discogs is inferior to musicbrainz in terms of information.
To me it’s only value is the market place (which is very good)
They also bought out and screwed DPReview.
Ah, right, totally forgot about that 🥺
