Who cares? The reviews are the worst part of IMDB. I use it to verify facts of a movie - year, actors, director, etc. I have no interest in the weird opinions that end up on IMDB.

If you want good reviews use Letterboxd. Funniest meme shit on there.

It did get mildly enshitified recently too though because they moved the reviews under a button in favor of cast and crew listings. Like, no one cares about that Letterboxd, we have IMDB and TMDB for that. We don't need a third option, just stick to tracking and meme reviews.

My son is a big cinephile, and Letterboxd is his go-to. He doesn't even want hear about IMDB.

Exactly. This is a non issue. Like being upset you have to sign into Next Door to see Doris down the street complain about things.

The only time I cared about reviews on imdb was this one guy who had a absolutely ludicrous amount of porn reviews and looked exactly like the type of person to have a ludicrous amount of porn reviews.

For more niche content, it's sometimes one of the few viable sources for reviews.
