To me, it's not about the fact they can be gamed but even the premise is misguided. Unless I trust a particular critic because "I like what they like", then it is like asking everyone what political party they like or which make of car they prefer. Deadpool scored 85% on rotton tomatoes and that makes sense, it was a bit different than the normal "Marvel" films and was well acted but it is totally not something I would enjoy. Napolean Dynamite scored 32% and strictly speaking, it was a very oddball film. I really enjoyed it and there are more than enough quotes in it to still make me laugh over 10 years later. The idea that crowd-sourcing reviews leads to some kind of useful truth is marginal at best but downright wrong.
