Rotten Tomatoes is changing audience review capabilities

This should help to staunch the flow of users leaving the site. In December '18 they were pulling 88 million visits now they are down to 67m.

How do companies not get it yet? Get woke go broke!

Though I guess in this case since they are little more than advertisers for films it doesn't really matter.

RT is owned by Warner Brothers. They can't go broke.

If you torrent every movie, the ratings don't matter.

Critics -- any kind of art critic -- have always seemed to me as elitists who overthink things. Not only that, but they're the minority, and art can be subjective. So I use the audience reviews instead to gauge the possible* quality of a movie.

And as others have said, with the latter crippled why even use that site anymore?

*(The majority can be wrong, but if most dislike something, there's a good chance it sucks. Same as with food.)

The plebs, once again, cannot be trusted since they don't support what the studios want.

I mean, they pretty much said "any negative review of a movie is just a troll being dishonest, ALL Hollywood movies are GREAT and INCLUSIVE, so we'll just delete all those negative Nancies, nobody really hates this movie, they're just sabotaging us because they fear our wokeness" during the Captain Marvel fiasco. Got caught doing it. ANd just did it AGAIN, saying the exact same thing. "No negative review of this movie is honest, it's all trolls, every last one"

At this point, if your credibility is that shot, might as well charge admission to the hugbox, that's the only people who'll be staying around, because censorship DOES NOT WORK.

Wait, what about people who want to review a movie that they bought on a DVD/streaming services?

What about people who still use cash to buy movie tickets? Even when I use my debit card, it's at the ticket machine at the theatre. I don't use online apps to buy movie tickets as I generally don't see movies on opening weekends and, as such, never have to worry about a movie being "sold out". Will Rotten Tomatoes let us scan physical tickets to have our reviews/ratings be "verified"?
