Netflix reportedly considering buying Letterboxd

Coleman Spilde, writing for Salon: Since its expansion from movie rentals and streaming into original content, Netflix has made it clear that its sole priority is Netflix, not its customers, and certainly not the art of visual media. Members of Letterboxd, a social network for lovers of film, founded in 2011 by Matthew Buchanan and Karl von Randow, are up in arms. I can understand creators of popular products/platforms eventually wanting to realise some reward for their efforts. It can only be hoped, should rumours of a sale have foundation, that any new owner has a bona fide interest in film.
