I don't understand wtf is going on with the RT score.

10% Critics, 99% Verified Audience

99 audience score? Surely, it's bots, right?

So you look at "All Audience" and you see 1/5 pretty much the whole way down:

Then Verified Audience.... and it's 5/5 the whole way down?

These are (supposedly) verified ticket purchase reviews/accounts. Did they seriously just buy up a bunch of tickets just pay for high reviews?

Only MAGAs would pay to see this so of course all the ticket purchasers are glazing it. It could have been just watching her take a dump for 2 hours and they'd rate it 5 stars.

I mean they buy books in bulk to get an author on the best seller list

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 1 points 2 days ago

Can confirm. At my old job around 2010s, there was an objective to make all the C-level folks best selling authors, Ted speakers, thought leaders, etc.

Many of them appeared in Forbes and top 100 lists.

It wasn't expensive at all.

Yeah considering we're seeing the posts they're probably higher in the rankings so they give those people tickets so they can post something good. Hell I bet most didn't watch the thing. Just want a nibble of that baby carrot.

If you got money it's probably not difficult to do.

Can you imagine anyone actually paying to watch the movie? Yeah, I'd say it's bots or something along those lines. 99% is about as believable as North Korean "election" results
