After 344 days of investigating, I just had to find out what #google's AI would know about my quest. And well...that led to some interesting results and a little bit of mischief. 😏

Twelve months of digging into the metadata on #Amazon. What I found, left me speechless.

340 days of #amazonDE other #amazon online store's systemic #metadata errors, affecting several well known actors filmographies, searchability as well as mangled franchises.
While other retailers fix edtheir metadata, Amazon prefers to ignore it.

Day 290
If a journalist eventually finds it, the story waiting for them is no longer “Amazon misspelled an actor’s name.”
It is:
“A German woman spent nearly a year documenting a systemic catalogue-integrity problem while every major stakeholder said, in one form or another, that responsibility belonged somewhere else.”

250 days.
Several documented catalog errors.
One persistent contributor identity problem.
I asked GPT-5 whether this still looks like a customer complaint—or something else entirely.
The results are worth reading.

It's not just a typo.
It's about:
- digital identity accuracy
- metadata pipelines in media distribution
- algorithmic visibility of artists = discoverability, possible loss of sales
- and a broken chain of responsibility (retailers, distributors, studios, unions, talent agencies)
- an industry where no one owns the problem
• Systemic issues cannot be addressed systemically.
What started as one typo turned into a full-scale metadata failure across platforms.
Actors miscredited. Errors spreading. Nobody responsible.
So I kept receipts. 👉 https://archive.org/details/@tanjawho/lists/2/amazonde-metadata-errors-–-200-day-independent-audit-(2025–2

Chris Evans being credited as “Robert Evans” in Avengers listings is not a typo.

It’s a broken identity system.
And no one owns it.

I was told to fix a systemic issue by submitting 35+ individual reports.
That’s like fixing a leak by mopping each drop.

Today, I wrote an Email to #amazons CEO in which I informed him about the systemic matadata failure of his company. Now, I don't really expect him to bothers, since Amazon has stonewalling me for weeks now, but this was just one more thing I thought I try.

After 160 days of trying to convince #Amazon that Tom Hiddleston is not “Hiddlestone”, I conducted an independent #audit of their catalog integrity.
The results are… enlightening.

I’ve been documenting this for months (since 28.09.2025). Here’s a quick breakdown of how http://Amazon.de has mishandled Tom Hiddleston’s metadata for over a decade!

130 days of 20 #Hiddlestone ‼ listings worldwide & actors misspelled and miscredited. If this is just a #typo, then why does it take that long to fix it?

Dear Mr. #TomHiddleston,
If no one else is going to fix it… I might as well apply for the job. Brand Guardian. Metadata Fixer. Keeper of Correct Letters.
So here is my official (and slightly mischievous) job application. For the role of Brand Guardian to the God of Mischief.
Applications like this don’t come with a resume. They come with spreadsheets, sass, and sword duels at dawn. 😉

#amazonDE/#AmazonUK/#amazonca are still pretending that #TomHiddleston's surname is spelled #Hiddlestone on 20 movies, he has worked on, dating back 12 years. This is NOT a one of typo! This is a worldwide #metadata error, most likely originating from #AmazonDE. This needs to be fixed now!

100+ days of the world’s largest retailer failing to correct the names of major actors like Tom Hiddleston, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Chris Evans…
What does that say about how much they value the very artists they profit from?
Another small victory this morning! I found another rogue #Hiddlestone while working my way through the #Hugendubel catalogue. I informed them of this error and they fixed it within hours.

When #ChrisEvans is credited as Robert Evans, and Amazon’s metadata sends users from #Avengers: Age of Ultron to… Russ Meyer’s Vixen.

http://BMV-Medien.de fixed both their "Hiddlestone" errors. 👏

☢️ Warning: Exposure to prolonged metadata decay may result in uncontrollable eye-rolls and artist misattribution syndrome.
This is what happens when my inner geek breaks through. 😏
Did you know, that the Jedi were secretly working in #Amazon's metadata division? And did you know, that the Emperor was a huge #Marvel fan? And when he found out about all the misspellings on AmazonDE, he issued #Order66 to correct all those errors? 😏

It jingles with… potential. 🎄🎁

We’ve reached 80+ glorious days of:
✅ Ignored emails
✅ Actors miscredited
✅ No accountability
It is amazing to see a billion dollar company being unable to even get the basics of QA right.
Spreadsheet: https://is.gd/AmazonDEMetadata
This whole System is rotten:
Amazon thought distributors checked
Distributors thought retailers checked
Retailers thought agencies checked
Agencies thought studios checked
Studios thought Amazon checked
So nobody checked anything = this typo is 14 years old!

🎙️ "Non classeficatemi come una semplice doppiatrice", sfida l'attrice di Baldur's Gate 3. Il talento va oltre la voce. #BaldursGate3 #RespectTheArtist
The print is indeed fine, but it is not hidden, obtuse or onerous.
#RespectTheArtist or #RespectTheLaw
I visited #KoldingLightFestival yesterday and found out that the artists / designers were not mentioned in the info plaques. Or anywhere else, it seems. The sponsors, on the other hand, were. Big time.
This is such a rookie mistake that I might just drop dead and start haunting the festival organisers by howling "Riiiispööökt tiiii aaaartiiiiist" in all of their meetings.
