Popularity Value - Error in the Popular People section
posted by maxpjonesSTAFFMOD on March 19, 2025 at 8:09 AM
For as long as I've been using this website, the "Popular People" section has been 500 pages of actors and filmmakers with a 100 content score.
It seems a recent update must have caused an error, as now the vast majority of stars who appear under "popular people" have low content scores. Seemingly, anybody at all who exists in TMDB regardless of content score is appearing under this section, which eliminates its purpose.
Do we think this is an error TMDB is likely aware of and working to fix? Are there any workarounds from the user end as is?
Thanks!

Hi @maxpjones,
Yes, we're aware of the issue. I started working on it yesterday but I expect it will take a few days before it's fully fixed.
