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.

TIL Amazon owns IMDB?
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.
They also bought out and screwed DPReview.
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.
