A few random keywords to block and delete ("streaming," "genre," "film-directed-by," "uttar-kumar")
The following keywords should be mass-deleted and blocked from the system. These keywords are similar to the "pay-video" keywords that were previously deleted. These should be deleted as well: streaming (66 titles) video-on-demand (18 titles) pay-per-view (146 titles) paid-viewing

I wish there was a feature where when you go on the keywords that belong to a movie, you can pick multiple ones you like that will link you to similar movies instead of being only able to click just one.

A question for the community: When adding keywords describing an action that occurs in the film, are verbs ending in "ing" or in "s" preferred? For example, consider the keywords "woman-vomiting" and "woman-vomits." These two keywords describe the exact same thing. Yet they are two separate keywo
