RottenTomatoes is owned by Fandango, whose CEO is an ex-Disney rep who worked there for 16 years

then why has disney been subjected to several critical flops

why do other more reliable firms back the RT score

-It's certainly easier to influence one site than multiple critics

but the same people accusing disney of botting audience reviews are the ones who argued they regularly pay off critics, so you aren't even providing an explanation for a sudden shift in strategy

I'm no mathematician but at its current amount of 24841 total audience ratings, they would've needed at least 21363 to hit 86% and yet not even half of those left a review (6255)

because leaving a review takes more effort than clicking a like/dislike button

this applies the same exact way to Youtube videos. This isn't even weird, it's standard for all websites. Reddit (generally) has more upvotes on posts than comments, youtube has more likes/dislikes than comments, twitter (generally) has more likes than comments, etc.

it's like you've just noticed how reviews vs. comments on the internet worked

and people are claiming their unfavorable reviews are being deleted or outright not posted

are they providing evidence, or this this another "Disney bought tickets for Captain Marvel and I have anonymous internet sources that prove it" situation?

But you can't tell me there's that much of an influx of new ratings that haven't shifted the 86% whatsoever this entire time

because the standards are linear and defined as a score of 3.5 or higher. what happened is people who went and saw the film on day 1 were an adequate sample size that represented other people who later went & saw the film

when you back this with CinemaScore/PostTrak data it all lines up pretty well
