I think suspicion started to settle in once movie trailers started advertising their RT scores.

I suspected as much recently. Add this to this list of enshitified things that needs replacement with a non-corporate version.

Brb, off to go scrub this deep into the faces of everyone who told me this is just a silly conspiracy theory

It’s a good thing I pay very little attention to online reviews. Amazon is another service whose reviews are for sale. Fuck all this corporate manipulation.

It’s just shitty that this exists. I think a year of jail for every incident of manipulation would be awesome.

A year in jail for writing an overly positive movie review? Lmao
