Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
A new app to replace the old one, because that’s always how it goes. TV Time’s creator is building a successor that will let users import their watch histories, because who doesn’t love a good data migration? The community that formed around discussing shows will also be preserved, because that’s what really matters. The new app promises to give users control over their data, which is nice, since they’re probably used to it being controlled by someone else. TV Time’s shutdown is just the perfect opportunity to start anew.
