40% tomato meter, 96% popcorn.

Anyone who uses RT still, is that 96% number real or AI/bots/pay-for-reviews?

If real, the number surprises me. Maybe it's a bit self-filtering, with audiences primarily made up of Michael fans already predisposed to rate it highly so long as it's not too controversial.

Yeah the critic/viewer disparity has happened on RT many times. I think you're right about the self-selecting.
