oh they're there too, it's just the formatting, where "professional critics" are on the left side of the page, and users reviews are on the right as opposed to be hidden on an entire different page, it gives a more accurate view, in my personal opinion, or what users think. now, it gets brigades by the incels just like everywhere else, and there's plenty of one review accounts which are seeded by the pr companies, but the site itself, I've never felt is actively accepting and designing their critic roster, review, splash pages, and recommendation processes like Rotten Tomatoes has since it sold out

not from the start, it wasn't no. after they sold out, it became a corrupted willing tool of the studios. i made the move to metacritic 10 years ago.
