Amazon runs/owns IMBD????? I didn’t know that.

[mowowie]

This PISSES ME OFF!!
The Private Message system was the BEST part of that site.

F AMAZON!

[Gator113]

Amazon is dead to me.

[Borges]

amazon owns IMDB

Yes, but if you find you must use Facebook to post somewhere and you wish to do so anonymously, you certainly can do so and maintain casual anonymity.

“Just quit contributing to the enemy. Every dollar you spend on going to see a movie, rent a movie, buy a movie, your cable TV bill, etc. goes to support these people that are directly opposed to your view points and, quite frankly, hate you. Why would you give them your money? If you insist on watching movies, then use something like bittorrent to stream movies for free and deny them the funds. #BoycottHollywood”

This. This is the only way to get Hollywood off their liberal high horse and just be the entertaining clowns they are paid to be.

By using Private Browsing mode in your browser (all modern web browsers do this, Facebook cannot permanently save a tracking cookie to your computer, nor can they read your history or other cookies. It’s as if someone was connecting to them from a computer that had never connected to any other site, from their point of view. So you can create a new account with bogus name, address, etc., information entirely separate from your ‘real’ account if you have one and you can link it to an a casually anonymous email or even a throwaway forwarding account to get past the authentication crap. Once you do that, you can then post anonymously (again, in Private Browsing mode) on any site that requires Facebook logins and exposes names and such to the public.

Nordstrom’s, Amazon, Hollywood in general (rent foreign flicks?) Injecting politics into the market place seems crazy.
I used to HATE it when some character in a movie made some political commentary out of the blue.

Someone might compile a list of ‘don’t go there’ business entities.

[Daffynition]

IMDb = films = Hollywierd.

Nope. Nope. And Nope.

[YogicCowboy]

It is also a way of indirectly quasi-censoring by forcing people to use a so-called third party medium that they can be certain will silence conservative voices for them while allowing them to disavow any such intent.

The fix is already in on Facebook and Twitter; they know it and they count on it.

They hate free speech.

[polymuser]

Next must be conservatives shuttering Amazon.

[YogicCowboy]

And 6 companies own virtually all media.

Collectivists love to collect.

[Lorianne]

Thank you very very much.

I’ll assume that intelligent, conservative, Christian, moral users were posting their thoughts about immoral, sophomoric, violent, anti-Christian, progressive-pushing, queer-pushing TV and movies.

Yes, that is exactly it. I read IMDB heavily, ONLY for the comment sections, and I have been surprised over the last year or two about the amount of pushback against the leftist propaganda that I have seen there. Once upon a time, any voice of sanity would be overwhelmed by the PC-enforcing lefties, but no longer. I have no doubt that is why Amazon is doing this.

I suspect that they'll bring back the comments, though, because it really is the only part of IMDB that is worthwhile. There are user-written reviews also, but those are only mildly useful because for every negative review there is a positive one and, frankly, a fair amount of reviews seem to be by industry hacks. The comment section is the big draw, and when that goes, I imagine their readership will plummet.

>>amazon owns IMDB<<

Hm.

Well, Carnak is stumped!

I have no idea what is behind this.

[Teflonic]

You are so right, and it's people like us who have managed to sway so many people. IMDb's heavily viewed forums are often my go to place to reach those who are ignorant of conservatism. There was so much pushback a decade ago, and the paid Soros trolls have always been very active there. But slowly over time we made converts, and there is no more staunch an advocate for our side than hardcore lefties that have seen the light.

The communists in charge of the forum have now finally thrown in the towel. They can't even beat us when the deck is heavily stacked against us, now they will seek to pull the plug on free speech zones altogether no matter the loss of revenue.

[Jane Long]

LOL....these Hollyweirdos CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

[eddie willers]

Liberal sites have been closing comment sections by the truck load.

[Cecily]

Thank you, I will check those out.

[wardaddy]

I’ve been on IMDb for years

It’s 97-98% libtard and depressingly so

You learn how daft gens X and Y and millennials are from media and academic indoctrination

When boomers are the last conservative benchmark you know it’s pretty bad

I guess Bezos is killing it cause it’s not a money maker

Not because it’s become conservative

Hardly
