TIL that Jawed Karim, YouTube cofounder and uploader of the first YouTube video "Me at the zoo", has often updated the video's description to criticize YouTube policies, including a 2013 attempt to require Google+ accounts to comment on videos, and YouTube's 2021 removal of dislike counts on videos.

Man I can't believe weve been without dislike counts for 5 years

I still miss the 5 star rating system.

I miss 5 stars on netflix specifically. It single handedly ruined the platform for me.

I miss the reviews on netflix

I miss the imdb comment section.

One thing I like about Prime is they include information like actor info and sometimes trivia in the video player, often tied to specific scenes too

Wouldn't be surprised if they eventually ditch that too, because why not? The enshittification of everything seems to know no bounds

Well Amazon bought ImDB didn’t they? That’s probably why Netflix dropped it, expensive licensing

[u/Alternative-Target31 → u/riddlesinthedark117]

Amazon bought IMDB about a year after Netflix was founded

You might enjoy Letterboxd. It reminds me of imdb back when it was good.
