I took a screenshot of the first screen. Weren’t you have a whinge saying that they’re all using the same boring plain white font, and now you’re whining when some use different fonts that you claim are harder to read? Which is it - do you want boring and easy to read, or fancy design that sacrifices UX?
With ones like the lord of the rings, you can clearly see that it is a lord of the rings film, so just click on it and see which one it is. How do you suggest the show “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” on the poster without it just being entirely big white text all over the poster?
On your last statement, maybe you need to brush up on your common sense? There’s never going to be a UI that lets you easily read the full title, including sub-title, of every movie ever released, and its poster art, at every resolution from every viewing distance.

No, I always said that SOME titles were different fonts and many of those were tiny, with minimal contrast, or heavily stylized and hard to read as thumbnails on TV screens AND mobile devices. Dune, Lord of the Rings, and the Hobbit movies were examples of those specific things because they are in the image in the post.
You do understand that you are replying to more than one person in the comments, right?
NO. They can make a name clear in the thumbnail. It isn’t magic, it just takes a minimal amount of effort per listing.
The LotR part of the text is perfectly fine, if the rest of it was the same size it would be perfectly fine. Dune could be fine if the text had better contrast.
Basically they just need to make thumbnails with readable fucking text. The ones in your screenshhttps://piefed.world/post/1294070/comment/6249020#ot are the right size and contrast, but you also took a screenshot of movies and shows with short titles that already had large high contrast fonts in their regular posters. You picked a screenshot of the opposite of what the problem is.

Oh god, you think a UI where some movies have no poster but just big plain white text on a black background while others have beautiful posters showing off the actors/story/etc would be good?
🤮
Like I’ve said before - I’d you struggle with reading these titles, go to an optometrist and use more appropriate resolutions for your eyesight. Those are options for people like you.
Also if you have problems reading ”dune”, take it up with the people who made Dune. Netflix etc have to use official art and logos.

The title would have to be pretty fucking long, but there are a few out there.
Here, I fixed the examples in a couple of ways. Ixt5lGgFLJQVTTO.png
