IMDB Ratings Vote Count
Would it be possible to add the vote counts next to IMDB ratings? They play a big part in someone's decision making when looking for something to watch. For example, something could be a 9 star movie with only 100 votes, so that 9 stars alone doesn't really say much. Thanks!
it would be possible, but AMAZON (owner of IMDB) is charging ridiculous amounts of money for the API use. So the real question is: are you willing to pay stremio for such a feature? because it cannot be provided for free and not going bankrupt.
What would be better: if the world gets away from imdb and starts to use more the open source alternative: TMDB
here the Vote count could be easily implemented and displayed

It's certainly possible to get the vote counts without paying for their API. I even added vote counts into my own addon I created. There's no native way of displaying it, so I just added it to the movies description box.
It would just better if Stremio already had this feature added though.

Couldn’t you just push a commit?
I have a similar problem with IMDB ratings, my proposal would be: https://github.com/Stremio/stremio-features/issues/274#issuecomment-1754322942
