Thanks! I understand where you're coming from, when we launched the first open beta we honestly didn't have any feature that we could use to argue "hey, you should use this instead!".

I personally think there's a overlap between people willing to manage their anime library, and people willing to manage their gaming library. Both have tons of options, and most will choose none.

But take MyAnimeList, for example: A mainly English-speaking audience, so we could assume most users are either using Crunchyroll/Netflix/Hulu, or the hundred possible options for piracy. But they still come back to update their profile in MAL every once in a while, despite all the options they have - and we have users which do exactly that too. We're trying our best to offer a solid management experience (e.g. mobile users may press and hold in any cover to manage a game, and desktop users have that directly at hover, and other QoL), and offer features on top of that. Our PSN and Steam integration are very recent, we only launched them ~8m in, and so is our mobile version. All of our users are basically early adopters, but they still log-in once or twice a week, and our only way of changing that is offering more reasons to stay online. That's why we're also building social-related stuff, like the Posts system, the reviews, and etc. We think users are way more likely to stay with us if they can interact with other people. This is kinda what Anilist is doing too.
