do you feel you are wasting your time on movie chat?

I don't feel like it is a waste because we can recommend movies to other posters and they can recommend movies for us. We can also have interesting discussions on films and other topics.

No. Not really. Or at least no more so than I'd be wasting time anywhere else online. I mean, it's pretty much all a waste of time, isn't it? I could be building the Taj Mahal out of matchsticks instead of writing these words. More fool me.

But at least on an old-fashioned message board like this one you can waste your time in full paragraphs if you need to.

And no-one is tailoring their contributions for dopamine hits from 'likes' and 'follows' or -- worse -- to make money. That stuff distorts conversation to the point it's just a meaningless wall of shite. There was a better signal to noise ratio before internet communication was overtaken by social media.

Oh, one last thing: don't forget to smash that like button. Subscribe if you haven't already. And you can get some of my longer thoughts about movies if you join our Patreon...

Yes.

people who make a living on social media are just prostitutes to me. i have no respect for them. i see places like moviechat as an online version of pub talk. just a bunch of mates shooting the shit about movies and the state of the world.

I just want to discuss movies or whatever. I have no interest in promoting myself via those platforms, or trying to monetize my ideas.

Also I don’t really see the upside. No one really seems to have a problem with doxing people and harassing them at work, or attacking their family any more, so I don’t know why anyone would volunteer any personal info.

I don't want coins thrown at me for my ideas, I like to share them here freely. First time I heard someone praise youtube, Instagram and tiktok as places suitable for sharing Ideas, social media must have taken a toll on you

Waste is completely subjective to each person.
Everyone gets 100 years to do what youwant.

I LOOK AT THE OPPOSITE WAY...I AM GOING TO WATCH A LOT OF MOVIES NO MATTER WHAT...HAVING MOVIECHAT HAS ENABLED ME TO INTERACT WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHILE I AM WATCHING MOVIES...IT HAS EVEN GIVEN ME A STRONG POOL OF MOVIECHAT FRIENDS THAT I LOOK FORWARD TO INTERACTING WITH.
