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].

Wait a minute! You actually believe that NBCUniversal Film and Entertainment, Warner Brothers Entertainment, Disney are separate entities, in competition against each other?? Oh, baby! Pull the other one!
Try to comprehend: Rotten Tomatoes is an industry owned site, protecting industry interests. What's so unusual about that??
