That sounds like it would be a pretty simple program to create a replacement for if IMDb’s data is scrapeable, but I don’t know anything about programming

As a programmer, that phrase tends to raise my blood pressure.
But it depends on how they structure their data but since all the elements are already related, it should be easy to query them all together. I bet they’ve abandoned it more because the query UI is a bit dense for most. But nothing that could be replaced with a simple textbox that could take any combination of cast/crew/titles and find anything that matches the combination. But they might need to add some specific indexing that would use up additional resources.

Completely understandable. But it really is quite similar to an excel macro that I used to use for a job. The source information is obviously different and I could see it being difficult to readily access, but I figure if someone can program something similar in excel, it can’t be that complicated… perhaps that’s just as loaded a phrase. I am familiar enough with excel to realize that I don’t actually understand how functional it is, lol.
Pretty much, closed forums, removed or paywalled features. Right now, they are on yet another iteration of dumbing down the UI to the point of being nearly useless.
IMDB used to have an amazing cross-search. You could put any combination of actor, crew, movie/show title and it would bring out common movies/shows.

I’m sure some AI cuck will steal that idea and act like he’s god for creating it with vibe coding.
It used to have amazing discussion forums as well, fuck you amazon
amazun, IMDB… what do they have in common?
One owns the other, less see if you can figure out who’s the owner
That sounds cool I wonder why they stopped it
I’m guessing Amazon bought them and dicked everything up.
Guessing, I have no idea if that’s true but it would add up.

It’s sad that all I needed to do was know that Amazon bought them and put the rest together based on a long list of shit they just ruined.
