Funny enough we are actually took a step BACK from marketwide aggregated ratings in recent years.
Using RT as an example, they changed their system in recent years so their shareholders had more control over the ratings, who can rate them and what is said.
They basically shifted from a simple internet movie rating site to slowly becoming another Hollywood mouthpiece with their selection of pro-Hollywood narrative critics and making it harder for normal people to raise opinions, we seem to be reverting back to the status quo.
- zdragnar 4y agoThe wide disparity the frequently exists between critics and audience reviews on RT always stood out to me as interesting- I frequently found that the wider the gap, the more likely I was to agree with the audience rating. It'd be a shame if the audience rating became less reliable in that regard.
