CNet:

Review site Rotten Tomatoes is instituting some changes, leading many to believe it's responding to the recent controversy over the site's Captain Marvel page. But Paul Yanover, president of Fandango, which owns the site, told CNET that's not the whole story.

In case you were snapped away by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, and thus missed the recent controversy, here's a recap. Captain Marvel doesn't come out until March 8, but users were already leaving negative comments about the film on Rotten Tomatoes, a process dubbed "review bombing." Many recent comments seemed to come from those who are angry at star Brie Larson.

The movie review site has removed users' ability to leave reviews or to indicate they are not interested in seeing a film [EDIT: before it comes out].

    There will always be an assortment of anonymous trolls for every little thing. I will criticize the rich and batshit crazy actors instead. They should know better.

    I disagree that her complaint of another reboot is "batshit crazy" but your timing is suspect. Kinda like Trump's "fine people on both sides". That just makes it seem like you're equivocating to generate support for your less popular opinions.

      You must be with the PR firm. Good job defending RT and even bringing Trump into it! They offer good plans or do you shill for free?

        Hope you'll breath easier knowing that you don't need to worry about our mental health.

        I count the comment you replied to as the 7th in the thread, maybe work on that finger counting before you advance to psychiatry.
