Long live moviechat.........

So i just went to trustpilot, and 1000's of people say imdb is pure shit now..... guess the reason imdb gave us for removing the forums was in fact a lie (as we all knew)

it was not due to "trolls" and other nonsense, no it was to silence any critics and stop anyone from talking to each other, classic censorship......... now it looks like they also have come for the reviews people are posting, have to say i am shocked, a new low, even for imdb.

https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.imdb.com

here is just one review out of many, that all say the same thing :

IMDB is pure trash now. Criticize anything with women or a minority as leads, even if, you're just like, "I don't like this actor"...your review gets deleted. Amazon ruined the site. It's trash now, ruined by the dot-coms forever. You are literally not allowed to dislike anything that falls under the woke umbrella. I enjoyed the site ever since I was in high school, it's sad to see the end of an era.

Ever since the SJW whiners complained about bad reviews of Captain Marvel and Black Panther, IMDB got scared of their own shadow and started protecting movies like this so irrationally, you're not even allowed to post a bad review. You could leave the best review ever for movies like "Glory" and "Friday", but if you didn't like "Black Panther", you're not allowed to say why.

Tragic.

I knew Amazon was behind the closing of the message boards. One rumor circulating was that they didn't want any negative comments because it could hurt their sales of DVDs/Blu-rays. The fact that they are now removing reviews adds more credence to this theory. It's all about the money.

This is another reason why I don't do business with Scamazon.

If it's listed as Poor on trustpilot, it has to be terrible, because I'm convinced trustpilot takes payments to delete negative reviews. Whenever I look up another company that a sparkling reputation, I eventually see mixed or negative reviews on other consumer sites.

IMDb has never been great or reliable, but it was much better when they had the moderated boards, best-of lists, games and simple audience reviews.

I remember when there was a time you could send private messages to anyone on YouTube.

I hate the new format IMDb adopted recently.

[–] GlenEllyn (21526) 3 years ago

Yes, very slow to load, and the format is too "busy." Just not user-friendly.
