Rotten Tomatoes (critics)Weight 6 (planned) — binary fresh/rotten loses cardinal info; will be deliberately down-weighted

Peer-set dimensions

Frequently asked questions

Why is Rotten Tomatoes weighted lower than Metacritic?+
The Tomatometer is a binary (fresh/rotten) aggregated into a percentage of reviewers. It discards the difference between a 60% review and a 95% review. Metacritic preserves the cardinal score (0–100) with editor-assigned source weights. Same reviews → more information preserved on Metacritic. Full argument at /blog/rotten-tomatoes-problem.
Will you cover streaming-exclusive series?+
Yes — Metacritic, Letterboxd, and IMDb all cover streaming originals. Netflix, Apple TV+, HBO, Prime Video, Disney+ limited series get the same treatment as theatrical releases.
What about audience scores vs. critic scores?+
We use both. Letterboxd and IMDb provide the crowd signal; Metacritic and the Rotten Tomatoes critic aggregate provide the professional signal. The weighting gives more influence to professional sources (credibility per review) while still incorporating crowd volume.
What affiliate links will you show?+
Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, and physical media (Blu-ray / 4K UHD) via Amazon Associates. Hulu via Impact Radius. Routing logic is the same formula used for wines: lowest rental/purchase price combined with highest affiliate commission.
