So out of complete nowhere a article exposed rotten tomatoes that was really unexpected but this was said before when they were accused of being biased and with not a word from their founders, but this was unexpected however it seems that people have stopped trusting rotten tomatoes like they don't trust the media or critics now is likely due to biased or their tomato score or audience score. From reading Vulture and sf gate about the issues.
Anyways Vulture published an article that gives out the details of the site where rt is easily hacked but there's some revelations, When the movie Ophelia a feminist retelling of Hamlet starring Daisy Ridley when critics saw it they thought of it as bad early screenings had published 13 reviews, seven of them negative, which translated to a score of 46 percent on the all-important aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes — a disappointing outcome for a film with prestige aspirations and no domestic distributor. Yet the Tomatometer's title is rotten and was below 60 percent but didn't stay the way Bunker 15 took in action, recruited self-publish critics with a $50 for a better review of the movie ensuring that rotten tomatoes give out positive ones and not negative ones. The editors at Rotten Tomatoes were forced to write positive ones. They were dictated to write publish ones so i guess were afraid of backlash and didn't want to face it either, yet with their Tomatometer-approved, the site has 3,500 members of the company they have about 50 percent are women 24 percent people of color and one of the individuals identify as LGBTQ+ or have a disability factored and new critics that are from other groups is about 66 percent boy talk about of trying to be a critic. Even though studios have often blamed rotten tomatoes and remain silent and many of those question how rotten tomatoes computes its ratings, the fact that these scores run on Fandango (which owns RT) is an even bigger problem.”
This one is from SFGate
"Hating critics was FUN, rebellious even, because I knew the enemy. And movies thrive on this kind of conflict between filmmakers, tastemakers, and customers. The more thoughtful opinions on a film that are out there, the more everyone has a chance to personally influence one another, which is ultimately good for art.
But Rotten Tomatoes has replaced that dynamic with readers picking movies based solely on an arbitrary number spat out from a nebulous blob of newspaper critics, plants, fanboys, indie movie bloggers and other random assholes. Combined, this slipshod collective is too ambiguous to be worth hating, and it has no practical voice of its own, certainly not one that you have anything in common with.
Every awards show, every RottenTomatoes ‘score,’ every ‘critic say…’ blurb or listicle — they’re all … based on the same common misconception: that a group can react to art as an individual can. … A film that receives 98 of the mildest positives with two vehement pans still scores better than one that changed 90 critics’ lives and ruined 10. And I think most of us would agree that the latter would be better art. Metrics like RottenTomatoes scores and awards voting simply aren’t equipped to deal with that.”
You, however, are equipped to react to art like an individual, because you are one (unless you’re still a Marvel loyalist, in which I deem you a lost cause). Many of you are already wising up to the steady decline in movie quality, and the profit motives responsible for it. With that in mind, go ahead and erase that Rotten Tomatoes bookmark from your browser. If you want to know what movie to see, simply watch the trailer, or check to see if you like the director or cast, or consult someone whose opinion you trust. A REAL person, be it a critic or a friend. Ask them for help, and then watch a movie for your sake and no one else’s. You’re entitled to have your own, unpopular opinions about movies. Both you, and the future of movies, will be better off for you having them.
So yeah a lot of this post was from the two sites that i decided to change or paraphrase it for better or worse but wow when that bombshell came out of nowhere people all know that rt was biased and the critics weren't being honest and accused of biased etc etc etc. As of right now we don't know what's going on but if i come back to update this post for anything new or make a new one.
