Hi,

The Gemini says: "MyEpisodes (defunct): While MyEpisodes was once a popular option, it is no longer operational."

Can you comment it? Thank you.

What is "The Gemini" and why should I care?

It's Google AI. I had to ask it what other - similar to myepisodes - services it knows. And it answered that myepisodes is dead... You don't have to care. The post is to show why not to trust AI.

I googled "The Gemini" and the AI stuff was the last link on the first page. https://i.snipboard.io/JXvlKL.jpg I's guess My Episodes has a better page rank.

Would be interesting to know where The Gemini gets it's training data.

We are still getting loads of hits https://www.myepisodes.com/stats/monthly/

I really like the service, I've been here for years and it perfectly fits my needs. But because years are passing, I wanted to see what other services are on the market. I was shocked that this service was not in top 3 but was mentioned below them with the comment about death because I asked for "other services similar to ...".

I did a query with Bard (now gemini), it is pushing trakt.tv and imdb. A case of follow the money?

Here's some fun I had with chatgpt a few weeks ago https://chat.openai.com/share/78d05d08-853e-4553-8925-05d64d924bb0

Sorry but... Smile

ShowReel is an ad-free subscription service that lets you track your favorite TV shows and receive notifications for upcoming air dates. Here's what it offers:

...doesn't matter...

MyEpisodes:

MyEpisodes is a decent option, but it does include ads in the free version. Upgrading to the premium version removes ads and offers additional features like calendar integration.

ShowReel vs. MyEpisodes:

ShowReel aims to be a more streamlined and user-friendly alternative. By focusing on a subscription model, it can offer an ad-free experience and potentially more features in the future, like episode discussions, without relying on ad revenue.

Subscription Model:

ShowReel would offer a monthly or yearly subscription fee to keep the service ad-free and continually develop new features.

This is just a concept, but it combines the strengths of MyEpisodes with an ad-free approach, potentially making it a more attractive option for users who prioritize a clean and uninterrupted experience.
