I feel like yall are also overestimating the tech comprehension of a lot of the younger generation. Every action has been so simplified some young teenagers are as tech illiterate as some of their grandparents. If its not inmediately obvious or requires a workaround, they just give up.
Don't get me wrong, its pretry good all around. Its privacy policy isn't so bad either, as it seems it only shares your watch history with advertisers and I'm willing to give them that. Its just that if there's an alternative that doesn't do any if that I'd take it.
Also, Trakt seems to be one of the first big ones of its kind, so I fear that it could get bought off in the future and become an actual privacy nightmare.
