Lower the Review Word Limit
Assuming the word limit on reviews is now 700, it needs to be drastically lowered to limit all the reviewers who drone on and on and on, recounting every detail of the plot for a movie or TV show.

Add VoD distributor type
Since basically every type of content is distributed via a VoD platform, either directly from the start or some time later, the distributor type should have an option for that.
