      Maybe… but It’s only 99% from “verified accounts”, when you include non verified reviews it drops to 30%.

      Additionally, all these verified accounts have usernames with either their first name, or their first name with the last initial (Jane or Mark F for example), many of them also don’t go into detail with their reviews, it’s just shit like:

      Great movie! A must see.

      Beautifully done! Sophistication and class. Amazing First Lady!

      Great overall movie.

      And so much more…

      I am sure some magats loved it, but these reviews are total BS.

        Barely need Russian troll farms anymore; just trained bots will handle a lot.

        And then, pointing that stuff out doesn’t make nearly the difference one might hope, as the message is primarily geared towards non-thinkers / binary-thinkers, anyway.

      I’ll never understand people that jump through so many mental hoops to try to justify what are obviously lies.

        Well then, since you’ve seen the movie yourself rather than baselessly speculating like the rest of us, what can you say about its appeal to its target audience?

          Lol.
