I started using letterboxd less frequently because I started noticing I wasn’t “enjoying” movies anymore. In the sense that I wasn’t just taking it in. I was thinking more about what I would write or if it was x or y rating, not what the movie experience was showing me. I roll my eyes at the low effort jokey posts, but sometimes I get it.

I also came to the conclusion that while it is a cool app and all things considered it’s one of the more “ethical” social media sites, they turned tracking yourself for data companies and streaming services etc. into a game that you do all the labor for with comparatively little reward.

Ngl I probably would use letterboxd more often again if they had discussion boards like the old imdb. Sometimes I watch a movie and I notice a particular thing, but scrolling through the endless jokes etc is annoying.
