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.
