Do they not have any protection against fake reviews after all this time?
Trump can't do nothing without vote fraud.

RT is owned by Versant, a spin-off company of NBC-U. With a 25 percent share by WBD. It is not impartial.
1.3/10 on IMDB. Rare Amazon W?
I checked 10 reviewer accounts from the first few pages. Literally all of them had only one rating on their account: Melania, 5 stars.
At least try to look like you're not astroturfing, lol.
See for yourself: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/melania/reviews/all-audience
You think maybe the guy known for trying to cheat voting systems did a little vote cheating?
I think the “verified audience” are people who bought tickets through Fandango. So, either they were the kind of people who wanted to see and like it or they bought tickets but didn’t actually go and are astroturfing.
Either way, the high ratings are definitely bullshit.
The purpose of the audience rating is "how people who thought they would like the movie thought of it" which is approximated via the verified views thing. So this makes sense.
I'm certainly sensing a theme to these reviews
My headcanon is that they trained the LLM/bot that made these on Trump's tweets.
The "verified audience" aspect is the issue. Only people that paid for tickets are giving these reviews. One review:
It was a magical awesome experience starting with the first song.
Uh....yeah.
"VeRiFiED"
Someone spent money to buy tickets and make bots write reviews. I don't think they got it for free.
Doesn't make it any less not verified. A bot is not a verified user. They are bots.
Amazon spent $35m on it, I'm sure they can spend a little bit of that on buying some positive reviews

I'm used to RT brown-nosing the bastard until they're neck-deep but it's usually not this RT.
or Slovenes maybe?
Only the tomatometer is actually a valid score. The site is called rottentomatoes not rottenpopcorn...
Audience score has always been nonsense.
They've both been nonsense.
