Critics have long been accused of accepting money from companies in exchange for a review of their gadget, book, or movie. Most writers would scoff at the idea, but the practice is widespread—and growing.

    Next you’re going to tell me content on sites like Reddit are mostly marketing agencies and their bot farms pushing their products, celebrities, and their agendas. 😱

    Even if they’re not paid for reviews are a terrible way of knowing if you’ll enjoy a movie. They’re so subjective. I just ignore the entire movie review system and watch the damn movie. I don’t even do trailers because they so often give the entire plot away. Pay attention to what you enjoy - actors, directors, cinematographers. It’s not too hard to find stuff you’ll likely enjoy.
