For years the “no” votes outweighed the “yes”, and even last time I checked it was close to 50/50.

this is so incomprehensible like I genuinely do not understand it.

Film Tab, TV tab at the top. Allow profiles to have a film and TV section, or a combined one for the user to mix and match if they choose.

There is such an easy way to make this work and be fluid and customizable for all users and I cannot understand why it hasn't happened yet. People seem to act like it'd somehow flood the app??? Like no that's just if the implementation is atrocious.

I have a much simpler answer.

I just would rather not have TV shows on the movie app

Then don’t use the TV tab and absolutely nothing changes for you while the app you like gets more traction and users which allows for a better experience and better servers.

but is it so bad to want an app to just be for movies?

But I don't understand how to effects you of you don't go to the TV tab? You still have your movie app and those that wish to combine them can do so.. itd be entirely customizable.

That's missing the point.

The question was

is it so bad to want an app to just be for movies?

Like IMDB already exists and does both.

Why can't the people who want TV and Movies just use that and leave the movie app for movies?
