Review bombing

Episode 3 is apparently being "review bombed", but it has a 7.9 rating. That's some weak ass review bombing right there. Have these guys seen Velma's rating? Besides, 7.9 is a good score that seems accurate.

Are you gay?

It just wasn’t a good episode, if it was the same episode with Bill and a woman instead of two guys, it still would have been pointless

There was also "positive" review bombing going on due to "the message". I watched this episode to see what all the fuss was about... it was very average, and that guy's fake beard (the one who fell in the hole) was terrible.

What is meant by "review bombing"?

[–] DarkLeafNinja (67) 2 years ago

When a group of haters or fans drop reviews for something in a short amount of time to alter the score either positively or negatively.

Oh, thanks. Do they have to be haters, or can they be shilling for a show?

Sorry for late reply and yeah it works both ways.

I don't base my viewing activity on online banter (Pro or Against). I just watch for myself, then decide if it's worth following and rewatching.

The only "review bombing" that is happening is gays voting 10 just because it's gay. What do you call reverse review bombing?

9.9 for 1.05 on the day before its release Feb 10?
