Critics are the experts.
A fanatic, while crazy, has skin in the game. Their time and money.
I'll take a fanatics POV over an experts everyday of the week and Sundays too.
- Rant423 4y agoIn an ideal world, where everyone votes sincerely (and using an agreed-on scale), sure. But that's not the real world: here people are declaring a whole season of a show either a 10 or 1, after _maybe_ seeing 25% of it. In other words, this data is too noisy and so not trustworthy.
- vagrantJin 4y agoI dont know what the 'ideal world' talk is about, what I do know is that the audience votes with something valuable and real, not something vague and nebulous like expertise. Fans have nothing to gain, not prestige, not fame, not even a fattening bank account. All they ask for is to be entertained. Peter Jackson and hos team may be to blame for leaving such a high bar to clear, but censorship will never be the answer.
- rdtwo 4y agoKind of like video game reviewers are experts lol. The problem with the do called experts is that often they have a strong financial incentive to give high marks to expensive ips. So if Amazon spent 500m for the show buying some critics for 5m total seems trivial
