    Rotten tomatoes had nothing to do with this. They don’t even employ critics. They aggregate them and the PR firm was directly contacting reviewers.

        Didn’t they actively and very publicly suppresse reviews on a few movies because they called it brigading? I think one was girl Ghostbusters?

      They have been playing fast and loose with who qualifies as a professional reviewer allowing for increased manipulation.
