Part 6/7:
This pattern of censorship and rating manipulation isn’t isolated to just one platform. The commitment to artificially boosting ratings raises serious concerns about transparency and integrity in digital content reviews.

As the controversy rages on, the common thread remains clear: fans care deeply about Lord of the Rings, and Amazon’s manipulative tactics are being called out for undermining genuine feedback. The community's persistent efforts to expose these measures appear to have pressured Amazon into reverting some of the rating changes, although skepticism remains about whether the reviews were truly restored or simply masked temporarily.
