""On the internet, nothing is real. When it comes to movies and the media that cover them, everything is manipulated. Journalists trade credibility for access, Rotten Tomatoes scores are inflated by fake critics, studio marketers now control the entire narrative. Except on Letterboxd. That is our safe space.
It's not perfect, but in general the community can be trusted to reflect what people who love movies think about the latest movies, not what they are told or paid to think. That community would be destroyed if Netflix or one of the other studios bought Letterboxd. Rotten Tomatoes is owned by Comcast and massively inflates scores to help sell movies, both from its Universal studio and others. Comcast or any other studio would do the same to Letterboxd, and even the perception of bias would ruin
the entire vibe. Once that's gone, it's all downhill." —An executive"
