overtaken by fake reviews
The site is obviously unable to control fake reviews and fake interactions in general that it basically looses any value whatsoever. It also aggressively filters out any critical review in periods just after the release of a product. I understand the site wants to prevent review bombing but in the absence of proper user verification and vetting based on patterns, it results in completely distorted pictures regarding many products that are rated at least 2 or 3 stars (out of 10) above their real value. Right now, I would recommend to be very careful when considering positive review posted on this site and I sincerely hope that IMDb does something to combat fake reviews, particularly from newly created accounts or dormant accounts that are just used to manipulate the opinion of viewers.
