For now. The same thing that happened to GoodReads will also happen to Letterboxd. Nobody wants to pay for a service like that to stay true to form in the long term.

Interesting, I haven't used GoodReads for years. Has it become compromised in some way by the Amazon acquisition?

There's already plenty of group think with certain films. More and more very recently released, popular films are shooting up to the highest rated within a few days. Letterboxd should probably account for the recency bias a bit better.

I'd like to know this too!

I only casually use it to find books I might like. So far I've not noticed anything changed since Amazon acquired it (didn't even realise they did, in fact)

A lot of movies rated 0.5 or 5 just to scale the top 250. It recently happened with Across the Spider-verse.

Right, which is why I think there's more value in finding a couple of individuals whose tastes resonate with your own, and watch their favourite things, rather than pay attention to aggregated scores.
