Most people weren’t even on the internet yet in the mid-90s so I’m curious about what kind of enshittification of IMDB did you see in the late 90s? That’s the time I remember it being good still but I don’t really recall when the horrible redesigns started occurring.
IMDB started out on USENet. Early versions were text files people edited and shared.
The mid to late nineties is when it became commercialized once it gained popularity on the WWW. People were pissed at them for taking all of the crowd sourced data and profiting from it.
Their design, layout and navigation are fucking terrible.
It began as crowd sourced database that became enshittified even before Amazon bought it.
It was cool up until the mid-1990s.
