IGN | Rotten Tomatoes Under Fire After PR Firm's Scheme to Pay Critics for Positive Reviews Uncovered
A new report details how a PR firm paid off critics to post positive reviews of 2018 drama Ophelia on Rotten Tomatoes, prompting scrutiny over the reviews aggregator.
You're viewing a single thread.
Rotten tomatoes had nothing to do with this. They don’t even employ critics. They aggregate them and the PR firm was directly contacting reviewers.
If you think RT hasn't been in active incentive based collusion with studios and critic for years, you're the type of purposefully ignorant that advertisers make their bread and butter off of. RT was been corrupt since they sold out, and that was a very very very long time ago now.
Didn't they actively and very publicly suppresse reviews on a few movies because they called it brigading? I think one was girl Ghostbusters?
Also, the last jedi. Both are terrible movies. I had the same experience when watching both and thought I must be tripping balls and hallucinating at how bad both films were.
They have been playing fast and loose with who qualifies as a professional reviewer allowing for increased manipulation.
They're saying their data is rotten.
