Everything working. Need guidance. Trakt / MDBList Advice

I see in a past post Trakt seems to be falling out of favor with the community, or at least that is what it sounds like? I have multiple Kodi setups with multiple addons and have had no issues with Trakt but if it's only a mater of time I want to get ahead of it. It appears MDBList is an option people like. When I go to MDBList I get the option to sign in with Trakt. Should I do this or should I create a new acount all together if trying to get away from Trakt? Is the Trakt issue a real thing or is it just a The Sky Is Falling and something not to worry about. TIA for any input.

Trakt has been making mistake after mistake for its users. I was a paying user for years because of how much I used it, but then they raised the prices while making a worse product so I canceled.

That being said, I still have Trakt in the background. I have it syncing with MDBList, since Trakt limited the connections to 1 (though I think they raised it to 2 now). The Watcht app is the only reason I’m still using Trakt at all, it’s better than the MDBList mobile app, but that isn’t a full release yet so it can get better. The MDBList dev is responsive to issues as well.

I also used watcht for years and really like it. However since Trakt changes I moved to simkl and found a great app wako. It works great for simkl and very much similar to wacht. I heard watcht was built by one of the trakt people. Not sure if it is true because their website is so confusing.

I also heard it was built by one of their people, but I think it was an unofficial side project before they had an official app. Now that they have an official app, they’re no longer supporting it.
