   Reminder that #IMDb is owned by #Amazon

   That #Amazon is your regular everyday shitshow #BigTech pile-a-?

   And that #PsychoBillionaire #JeffPesos runs that hellhole.

     @BreachCat because of how much these megacorporations encroach on our society and into our daily lives with their ruthless hypercapitalism, etcetera.

     @BreachCat angry isn't the right word. Outraged may be better. Though I should expect all kinds of shenanigans by now.

     @humanetech time to work on a fediverse alternative to IMDb? :p or moving to letterbox, since a lot of IMDb reviews are a result of bombing anyway

     @edendestroyer yea, indeed. The aggregate review rating is in almost 100% of cases utter BS.

     You need to go into user reviews and look at the distribution of individual ratings to gauge if a movie is worthwhile. Movie has a rating 8 but you see reviews be all 1's and 10's --> utter crap awaits in cinema ?

     I remembered that I wrote this toot to follow up and mention federated-imdb: https://mastodon.social/@humanetech/108934213621370961

     It is not a project for me, but I gladly advocate the idea :)
