Letterboxd’s owners have held early talks with a number of potential buyers — including Netflix, according to an unconfirmed report by Puck. Others reportedly looking at Letterboxd include Sony Pictures Entertainment, David Ellison’s Paramount Skydance (and RedBird Capital Partners, a key Paramount financial backer) and private-equity giant TPG.

f*** every large corporation

IMDb will rise again.

I don't use letterboxd but this still sucks to hear man

I love your username

Our daily dose of everything gets worse all the time

To do what with it??

> private equity

as per usual

Is there anything that didn't go downhill after that

scrape user data to feed their Netflix AI scriptwriters and algorithm to recommend movie elitists more s*** they don’t need to watch

almost everything

Thank you man, this made my day!

Data collection and stripping for parts, same as any other private equity acquisition

a matter of time this was, they very obviously cant get it going on their own without a larger backer

ngl i thought they might be in talks with google too based on how terrible their seo is

Anyone but Paramount

Tragedy

And shouldn’t Paramount back off on buying s***

They’re already going to be in a s*** tom of debt after Warner Bros

geek up

not making enough money from people’s subscriptions already?

everything you like will be purchased and ruined, nothing is allowed to be fun

the thing is you're right but netflix don't have a catalogue for movie elitists to have any interest in

Yeah Letterboxd is for film lovers and Netflix has done more harm to the film industry than any other company over the last ~decade by far. It's hard to imagine this being anything more than pure data collection
