Free version does not allows lists to be created either?

I understand Ads might be needed for free tier, but 5 full screen pop up adds within 20mins.

Ads are set up to show max once a day in Adsense, not sure why you saw more.

It seems very orientated towards TVShows and Animie, as opposed to movies, is there a reason behind this?

Simkl has all the TV Shows, all Anime and all Movies, there is no prefference towards one or the other, https://simkl.com/lists/discover/?type=all&official=true&sort=popularity,desc&franchises=true

Here's how Simkl manages it's data for all 3 https://docs.simkl.org/how-to-use-simkl/faq/frequently-asked-questions/how-to-add-new-shows-missing-episodes-and-movies-to-simkl

Just for super clarity, if i come across negative in anyway, shape or form, this is not intentional, I have nothing but admiration for what people create and what it can do to help people with their viewing needs.

I use numerous services and always look to help and support, and where needed give feedback.

We need to remember that 95% of people will never sign up or pay. So need to see all the differences.
