The beloved TV-tracking app used by millions to log episodes and get recommendations for 15 years. Shut down so its parent company could refocus on AI products — one of the clearest cases of a healthy, loved product dying not from AI competition, but from its owner chasing the AI gold rush.

Collateral damage: Fifteen years of user watch history, ratings, and social connections lost unless manually exported before shutdown.
