It's pretty telling that they're so afraid of reviews that they have to intervene this hard to keep their score above water.


The first time they've been this concerned about fake reviews and they just happen to be all the negative ones.


From the article:

> Amazon introduced the policy earlier this summer, starting with its reboot of A League of Their Own, which contended with review bombers who opposed the show’s political stance.


Turns out people don't like it when you take something not about being woke, and make it about being woke. Amazon should hurry up and learn their lesson. If they want a show about being gay they should just make one, don't rewrite an existing story to shoehorn it, and if you want black and brown fantasy characters, don't appropriate something cobbled out of anglo-saxon mythology to do it.


Amazon developed that series too? That only supports my point, regardless if it's the first time they did it.


Well, it's the most expensive television program in history on a cost-per-minute basis, it is critical for them that it looks like a success.
