I run https://next-episode.net https://next-episode.net for about 18 years now. It's a website + mobile apps that help users track what they're watching (TV shows and movies). I wouldn't say trends over the years affected the business much, but I'm playing with the ChatGPT API currently to try and improve some aspects of the functionality and maybe add some new cool AI powered features - so there's that.

I'm loving all the individual GPT-like creations, of this past quarter 2023... myself, been playing with image and text transformers since Holidays 2022, and am extremely interested in individual use-cases [from my premise and IMHO that entry-level computer jobs are effectively DONE by end of 2023, including multimodal document and image transformations and commoner customer service -type jobs]. Definitely an exceptionally-diminishing amount of users will be able to create increasingly-complex content which will demand higher wages for an even smaller subset of users/creators of GPT/image -type "creation." How are you individually using it to increasing television/movie suggestions... beyond (hey GPT "What would you recommend if user A & B liked X but A & B did not agree on show Y nor Z?")?

  I'm still experimenting different things with it so I can't tell you how exactly I'll end up using it, but yeah, ideally it should go beyond what you mentioned ...

How does this make money?

  Yeah, ads (for free users) and Premium membership which removes them and unlock features.

    Which features? Sibling mentions not knowing what the features are and then you didn't elaborate.

I've been using next-episode since I saw you mention it here a few months ago... it's great! But (as a non-premium user) I noticed I can't see my entire movie watch list. Was that a recent change? I would have liked better transparency about not being able to see all the movies I added before I added them, but I realize as a non-paid user I pretty much just get what I get.

  Please get in touch through the "contact us" link on the bottom of Next Episode so I can investigate what is happening. There was no recent change affecting the movies list (other than some design tweaks which wouldn't limit the number of movies you see in your list).
