Rotten Tomatoes further dilutes its utility with 'Verified Hot' badge

Summary

Nutrition label

59% Informative

Rotten Tomatoes is trying to get around review bombing here by mandating user reviews be from people who actually saw the movie in question.

There are a couple of little problems with this: It verifies that a consumer saw a movie via the ticketing firm Fandango , and there are plenty of other ticketing firms out there, including, you know, the theater cashier.

The move only works to further dilute the utility of the site.
