I tell you one thing that Amazon did that pissed me off. I’ve been using IMDb for years. I like the site and I know exactly how to navigate it. However, I’ve never had an actual account on IMDb. I’ve never wanted one, never needed one. I’m not interested in sharing my thoughts with others, only reading what others have to say.
Then to my surprise one day, I go to IMDb.com and I’m signed in with my name and have an account that I never fucking created.
Somehow, Amazon automatically created an account and signed me in in my browser without my knowledge or approval.
So, I immediately took the steps I needed to take to delete the account from IMDb only to have it do the same fucking thing 2 days later.
I think it’s using my Amazon account that I’m signed into in the browser to do this. There has to be a law against this. I never requested an account on IMDb, I never wanted one and I had never approved one.
So I guess the only logical thing for me to do is to leave offensive and vulgar reviews of everything I see on their website so that I can get banned. Only then might I not actually have these accounts automatically created for me.
Amazon owns IMDB and shares the same automated login system. They are different accounts, so of course you can delete one account without hurting the other. But the process will repeat. IMDb ask, does the user have credentials for an a account? Amazon says, yes, this user has these credentials. IMDB logs your credentials and sees that you don’t have an account, so they kick start a brand new one tied to your already existing credentials and the information they already collected from your usage.
Maybe try a different browser with containers, or accessing in incognito mode. If you already use IMDB so much, they already know most about you. They fingerprint and collect a profile about your usage.
Maybe switch to a different service like TMDB or whatever.

I wonder if that’s legal. I guess IMDb is just one of the oily black tentacles of the entity that owns everything?
Well yes,IMDB is owned by Amazon.
