Hundreds of angry filmmakers are getting ready to sue IMDB for their unfair ratings system.
IMDB purposefully places a higher emphasis on those that give the movies a '1' thus bringing down the overall rating.
The median is always higher.
IMDB's rating methods are completely and totally flawed and skewed to favor studio films (their main advertisers) while diminishing the reputation of stellar indie films that have averages in the 3.5 - 6.5 (horrible ratings).
The negative impact of this is:
1) Loss of sales (Blockbuster, Netflix, Redbox, foreign sales, etc)
2) Loss of reputation
3) Loss of visibility
4) Loss of future investors.
This is a very serious matter. If you would like to join in on the upcoming lawsuit or would like to support the filmmakers, please email the group at: [email protected]
Thank you!
