I mainly loved the fact that unlike in trakt that stopped working, I can use the website and it’s working 
and ofc, also the fact I could transfer my stuff there very easily.
But they do have lot of additional functionality, and calendar shows full month instead 1 week, I think it’s a plus.
There are few other similar websites, so I guess while moving to other website it can be nice to compare what best for you, if you have the time.

Unfortunately this 100 items per lists has made the free account from trakt pretty unusable, especially the ‘collections’ which over the years I have used trakt has grown to over 3000 items. Using the app TV Guides, connected to trakt before they had their own android app all items you ‘add for watching’ were automatically ‘added to collection’ meaning I now have over 3000 items collected xD
My anime list was also over 100 items which I now forcefully had to reduce to 99 items of only the animes I had not yet watched creating seperate watchlists of all genres just to keep the shows I wanted to watch.
My regular watchlist is over 300 items being both shows and movies, I am unable to add new stuff during my netflix browsing to my watchlist now due to this restriction. I’m not entirely certain what the added value of this other than trying to ‘force’ people to upgrade to use VIP can be. But I am dissapointed that it has come to this. All the other restrictions have always been perfectly acceptable, seeing stats, having more sorting options, all those fancy things people can use if they wish to pay. But this list restriction is rediculous and will make me look for other platforms to start logging my watched status.
If you have watched any previous episodes of a series, it is in your watched history and will appear in next up and calendar. Watched history has no limits. Keeping it in your watchlist is unnecessary.
Why are you talking about gargling your hairy *****?? It’s your fault you went “Oh it’s called watchlist, so it must be for things I watched 
”
Absolutely not. It’s scary how many people follow this logic. A watchlist is for things you want to watch. Of course it’s going to fill up quickly if you use it for everything you watch instead. Why do you think it automatically removes items when you add them to your history?
You can, but you should add them to your history, not your watchlist. If there was a 100 item limit of things you watched (even movies and individual episodes) then that would make Trakt completely useless (I still think they made a horrible decision by limiting the watchlist and lists).
You’re still getting it wrong. Watchlist should be for things you’ve never watched. If you’ve watched a series, it’s in your watch history without limits. Also, counting episodes instead of a series was/is a bug and should have been/will be corrected.
Quite a puzzling use of the Watchlist feature. What purpose do you find using the default Watchlist this way serves that the ‘Progress’ tab doesn’t provide you?
Unless you’re not aware the ‘Progress’ tab exists and how it can be sorted and filtered…
In case you don’t know, the progress section is for what you are using your watchlist.
Watchlist should be for things you haven’t started yet (or for things that still haven’t been released).
The progress section has all episodes you still need to watch of your shows (that have been released).
For example, this is mine:
Indeed, it is completely wrong.
Why are you saying it like it’s a fact? Just do a simple Google search, please. Watchlist is for stuff you plan to watch, and that is the case for Trakt, but also for Letterboxd, Seriesguide, TVtime, and literally all apps that have ever existed.
Why would you add them to your watchlist? I really don’t see the point. When you start a series, it shows the next episode in “up next”. What more do you need to not forget what you’re watching?
How is it physically possible to follow 100 series at once?
Exactly right!
Can you explain how the Watchlist suits you better than the ‘Progress’ section for shows you’re already watching (at least 1 episode watched)?
It just seems like an awful waste of a persons time to add individual episodes of a show you’re already watching to the Watchlist so you can ‘plan’ to watch them later. The Up-next section of the dashboard and the Progress section does this all for you.
The bottom row for most people, IMO, is that after the last change, free tier of Trakt is only intended for people who are willing to invest all their free time in researching and arguing which is the “correct” way to use the website, and work few days to “fix their previous mistakes of incorrect using”.
Luckily, there are many other competitors that allows for whatever use u like, without punishment, and that are much better with UI design in a way that the user don’t need to research anything, the UI itself makes sure all goes the correct way.
If you deigned something that many people are “mistaken” with the use of it, then you need to take a few basic design courses.
Unless you are the CEO, of course, then you only need to hire someone better that knows how to keep the users and not lose the Business over poorly designed, communicated, and customer supported decisions.
Watchlist (noun): a list of people or things to be monitored
You’re right, Trakt’s watchlist is designed as a to-do list of things to start watching, not things currently being watched.
However, the term isn’t as universal as your post might imply. When the police add someone to a watchlist, it doesn’t mean they plan to watch them in the future, it means they’re currently in the process of watching them. We shouldn’t be surprised that some Trakt users are using a similar interpretation.
After all, don’t you add movie sequels to the watchlist? What if you’re watching through a movie series with a dozen sequels? Each individual movie would remain in your watchlist until you’ve reached that point in the series. Trakt treats movies differently than TV episodes, but its users might not see the distinction.
Having unwatched TV episodes/seasons in a watchlist isn’t necessary in Trakt, but it is understandable.
You’re missing the point. The user has a full watchlist because they are misunderstanding its purpose. I’m simply explaining how the watchlist actually works. Of course it’s a problem if someone (and I’m the first one) actually plans to watch more than 100 movies and series (which is very easy to reach).
I have the same issue but with Collected, I use trakt to keep a back of everything I collected and watched on my Emby library and in some cases even restored the watched items when Emby had problems and had to rebuild.
I’ve been a trakt user for years but I never had the need for the VIP features so I never got it but today I’m deleting my account and leaving trakt as it is becoming useless unless you get VIP.
i really don’t like this strategy of forcing you to pay when VIP gave you extra features and you paid if you wanted them, I’ll be searching for alternatives now. is really sad for me cause I’ve used it for so many years.
thanks for ruining it.
Thanks everyone for the answers! 
The limit of 100 on collection is frankly ridiculous, why on earth have you made this decision? I currently have 17k+ in my collection as I have been using trakt for 10.27 years (per the advanced page of my trakt account). Whilst I might not have all of these anymore, I like to use trakt to show that I did have the movie or tv show in my collection at some point in the past. But I am certainly not going to pay $60 for that privilege.
As for the watchlist limit, the limit is also questionable and highly debatable…
