(8 marks) Marketing & growth

Are you trying to find a you saw recently, or would you like a recommendation for a movie worth reviewing?

The selection of new movies is impressive, but the constant pop-ups, broken links, malware vectors, and legal threats degrade the experience. You will spend more time closing ads than watching the film. Furthermore, the stress of wondering if that "Update Flash" button will encrypt your hard drive is simply not worth the price of a movie ticket or a monthly streaming subscription.

However, for the internet-savvy user who understands the risks, navigates with an ad-blocker, and is looking for a hard-to-find B-movie, sites like MovieHit remain a persistent, if precarious, option.
