You keep saying in replies that the general public doesn’t use RT for more than a barometer for their decisions and They’re not deep diving into reviews by critics they share personal taste with, they’re not looking for more diverse opinions.

What makes you think they’ll use social media to search out the things you’d say they’re not doing already? They don’t want to search it out. They want to see what the mainstream public and critics think.

As for trolls and review bombing, social media can be manipulated the exact same way, it not worse.

Also, if RT goes away, they’ll just use another similar review type site for their barometer. Most people don’t deep dive into movies like that.

People who want more diverse opinions will search them out.

The solution to your problem is that RT needs a more diverse critic lineup and to include more diverse things in their ratings.

Why reinvent the wheel when a bearing is squeaking? Just fix the squeaky bearing…
