👁️ Have to say when I look around at other services in film, shows, music and books - Letterboxd (sadly only film) seem to have it more right than the others.
👁️ The end of an era. When I first arrived in SF they were the bedrock of support for places like KQED and related programming. They did - and do - a lot more beside. I hope the ‘kids’ get the future right.
