Part 5/7:
Amazon’s ratings manipulation extended beyond Prime Video. IMDb, which hosts reviews and ratings for movies and series, has also been targeted. The platform has become less transparent, only displaying reviews with scores above 6 out of 10, effectively silencing any critical reviews that could potentially lower its rating. The top reviews on IMDb are often skewed toward the positive, which some believe is a result of similar manipulation tactics.
The reviewer highlights that the most helpful positive review on IMDb was rated a mere 4 out of 10, and even that review had only 14 users marking it as helpful. Conversely, scathing one-star reviews have hundreds of helpful votes, indicating a strong fan rejection of the series.
