Really? I would say user reviews on Rotten Tomatoes skews more towards film nerds and IMDb is the more everyday sort of person. Between the two platforms there's a disconnect in users' preferences.
- elil17 4y agoI’d agree, but I think both are very far away from the typical person, who does not post online reviews at all. Maybe the difference isn’t film nerd vs. not, but I’d wager there’s a big difference between an IMDB reviewer and a randomly sampled person.
- HighChaparral 4y agoThis was my reaction to the article also - the base assumption that the relatively tiny group of audience members who rate films on imdb are statistically representative of the audience at large needs to be proven first.
