Good times.

I did size up a few alternatives and have been using Trakt for the tracker that integrates with Kodi but I haven't imported my lists (someone else has brought over quite a few) as I've been burned before. It does seem to still be in the hands of the founders but it does feel like a site is only one big offer away from enshittification.
