And another site is enveloped by shitifacation.
Edit: ENshittifacation. Apparently, shitifacation is where an airline loses all of your luggage, lol

The term is enshittification, penned by Cory Doctorow
Shitifacation was my last international holiday where the airline lost my luggage
RT was shit from the start though.
not from the start, it wasn’t no. after they sold out, it became a corrupted willing tool of the studios. i made the move to metacritic 10 years ago.
The user reviews are where it’s at on rotten tomatoes. The critic reviews have been kinda suspect for a while.
the critic reviews have always been complete dogshit. too many movies get 100% or 0% on rotten tomatoes.
if i’m not mistaken IMDB ratings are only user based, and in my opinion, i almost never disagree with IMDB ratings and i think it’s because it has a vastly larger voting group to get a more accurate viewer consensus even if a small number of critics give a 0/10 or 10/10
IGN making this article is wild. I’m not accusing them of accepting literal money but come on lmao.
It takes a thief to catch a thief
The MCU having as many good scores as it does is the biggest giveaway that RT is influenced by money or connections. Like there’s no way in hell the MCU has THAT many good movies when most of them are boring AF.
Not really. Up until recently, most of the MCU was good to great. I’m not exactly sure where the shift happened, but a lot of the more recent ones have been trash. I’m talking about the secret invasions and black widows, where they’ve completely lost the script.
The peak is at whatever point you realized you had seen the same movie before.
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.
Good god has the world not figured this out already? Or was it a conspiracy theory until now?
So what if they do? It’s anybody’s right to conduct a free transaction. If somebody wants to hire me to write a lovely review of their movie, why not? If I want to hire people to write some bad reviews about my competition, that’s a free transaction. Crazy communists want to exert big government control over the free review market.
Nice bait Mr Business Man
Oh, people still pay attention to review scores? 🤣
Of course they do, what a silly assumption.
As silly as applying review scores to art? Take a moment to really think about how dumb that is.
Anyone know of any good - maybe open source/federated - alternatives?
