So,
IMDb first closes its comment section. Then reorganises its review order based on "helpfulness", eliminating quick access to the more critical viewers opinions.
In effect, spamming up-voted fluff at the user.
Netflix changes its ratings system to "thumbs up, or thumbs down", which is infinitely more forgiving on films that would have gotten thrashed with a "one star."
Rotten Tomatoes has a pole shift in critic to user ratings (usually the critics were less forgiving than the user. Now its the other way round.)
I take it that Rotten Tomatoes' "critics" wrong-think is being "discouraged"?
Rotten Tomatoes "narrative" re.
The Last Jedi critique and now
Black Panther (which now stands at 97% among the critics btw
) is some top tier preemptive/damage control/marketing emetic.
Polygon, in full narrative-compliance mode;

TLDR;
Why did the TLJ get savaged? = "Muh Misogyny"
Why is Black Panthers marketing hysteria getting criticised for race baiting? = "Muh Nazis"
So, studio-friendly changes all round, then?
