Also - a non-trivial percentage of ratings on Rotten Tomatoes & iMDB (and all review sites) come from accounts that have reviewed more movies than there is time in a human life to watch.

The amount fake user reviews can skew a rating is not to be taken lightly - and IIUC - Rotten Tomatoes & iMDB might be filtering out some/a lot of spam - but definitely not even close to all of it.

The same is true for GoodReads - the amount of teenage booktubers that have reviewed 10k+ books is awfully suspicious...
