A new report details how a PR firm paid off critics to post positive reviews of 2018 drama Ophelia on Rotten Tomatoes, prompting scrutiny over the reviews aggregator.
Remember IMDB in the early 00s? It was all you needed from what it set out to be. I recently went back to grab some lists for automation and holy shit it’s a wasteland of bullshit. I can’t imagine getting lost in it for hours learning about movies and deciding what I wanted to watch next if it was what it has become
I miss the IMDb message boards so much. It was so neat to be able to ask a question about a movie or read a post someone made three years before explaining the ending.
And another site is enveloped by shitifacation.
Edit: ENshittifacation. Apparently, shitifacation is where an airline loses all of your luggage, lol

Letterboxd has been slowly filling that void for me
The term is enshittification, penned by Cory Doctorow
Shitifacation was my last international holiday where the airline lost my luggage
Oof. THAT must have royally sucked
RT was shit from the start though.
not from the start, it wasn’t no. after they sold out, it became a corrupted willing tool of the studios. i made the move to metacritic 10 years ago.
