We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

Not sure if they qualify as “services,” but discogs, rateyourmusic and genius are holding up fairly well. IMDB is also pretty good, still.
Sure, it’s still useable. But the redesign a few years ago made it harder to use and I’m still mad about them removing their forums. Who dares to talk about movies and TV shows on a platform meant for that.
IMDb is so enshittified nobody uses it anymore. Bad example.
what do people use instead?
I swear I ran into a problem with IMDb having some basic stuff like “what has this actor been in recently” stuck behind their IMDbPro paywall at some point in the last couple years.
But I just went and checked a few movies and shows, can’t seem to replicate that issue anywhere.
I either hallucinated it, or they rolled back the enshittification after seeing a drop in traffic, not sure
They toyed around with moving things in and out of public. I’m not sure i’ve seen the what else get chained off, but for a while you coudn’t get much information about anyone. That’s when I started using Wiki
