And it's impossible to know if they're artificial or if people actually like garbage.

Yes, that's the other problem. Luckily I'm sailing the high seas so I don't waste money.

I find fandoms on reddit to be a decent gauge. I've been in one that was torn in half after the final season. It was hot garbage, but IMDB would make you believe it was actually good. Rotten Tomatoes was also more realistic. I guess good thing IMDB locked reading reviews behind login. I'm not tempted to waste my time on it anymore.

Yeah, amazon bought out IMDB, try The Movie Data Base, open source. It's a pretty awesome replacement.
