Rotten Tomatoes made a 'cleaning' in Audience reviewers in Captain Marvel. It deleted reviews AND accounts. Thousands and thousands of them. Besides that, they changed the algorithm. And besides that, many people who disliked it abandoned the place, the website has fallen hard: https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/rottentomatoes.com
This is not 'Audience score' anymore. This is more like 'Politically Correct Selected Audience score'
I trust anything on Rotten Tomatoes at this point about as much as I trust anything that comes out of Washington, D.C.
RT had a hell of a heel turn with the Captain Marvel situation. Fuck any site that limits audience comments, speech, and interaction. Also have to laugh at eliminating the "don't want to see" button gaging audience interest in a movie, leaving only the people who want to see a movie allowed to have a voice. You're not alllwed to NOT want to see a movie on RT. Funny, none of this mattered until a PC movie was getting down voted. If John Wick 3 had been getting leveled with the "Don't want to see" button, I don't think it would have been a big deal at all, and that option would still be available today. And of course we all know why it was taken off the site.
Rotten Tomatoes have been bought and paid for more than the general movie critics, and that's saying a lot.
Just like IMDb, I will NEVER visit Rotten Tomatoes again. I'll get my movie info elsewhere. I don't care if my one choice has no effect on those sites, I will NOT support them, because I no longer believe in how they operate, and that makes me happy to leave.
And once this site eventually does the same thing, I'll move on from here until a site allows ALL opinions, not just popular ones.
I held an account with RT inadvertently based on using an app that provided User Ratings. As an account holder on RT (you don't get any special access and it probably does nothing more than provide them marketing information) I have found the site quite true to what they advertise themselves to be and quite transparent to the information they provide.
The updates to their site are in line with what I actually expect from a aggregation site and comment site. The "Review Bombing" that prompted the changes to RT were happening prior to Captain Marvel and in my estimation was warranted given the campaign to Down-Vote Black Panther. RT is now a tad more useful just as IMDb is a bit more efficient in the information that they present but the entire user rating legacy scores are all tainted by obvious vote rigging. Too bad. RT needed to address their "Want to see" data due to how the collected data was being used and or misused.
If they have shut down bots and troll accounts then more power to them. Rating a movie 1 without watching it doesn't help anyone. What that is what was happening when the childish trolls were triggered by what they like to call agenda driven movies
