>The thing about Letterboxd is there isn’t a ‘central town square’ like there is on X; it’s a very single-channel conversation,”

The problem with Letterboxd that it's gamified and there is an incredible amount of noise and it's getting worse.

Top reviews are all just copy paste like baits.

"Me when watching a Ghibli film :cryingemoji:" 20k likes

"Yes I'd let Ethan Hawke visit me every single night" 10k likes

etc

It's a good site but also must users are writing dogshit

Just look at the popular reviews page https://letterboxd.com/reviews/popular/this/week/

I’m not seeing what’s so bad about the popular reviews. I guess my one complaint would be that no one is writing reviews and so they should stop calling it reviews when they’re really tweets about movies, but I think if Letterboxd were actually 100% in-depth reviews I’d log off immediately. Usually people writing a short quip about a weird/funny thing they noticed is way more enlightening than trying to go through some intellectual exercise after every movie you watch.

Letterboxd advertised itself as "Goodreads for film" yet here we are.

We still don't have a Goodreads for film
