The news would bother me less if RT
- was less ubiquitous (their ratings appear on a lotta commercial streaming services, giving them credibility)
- their methodology didn't suck (they don't weight the ratings)
- the diversity angle was more than a marketing gimmick (increasingly that's all it ever is)
- they actively culled their list of "approved" critics (since newspapers fired their staff writers, rankings are routinely decided desperate stringers and by bozos who had blogs in 1998 and signed up early)
- YouTubers didn't behave like YouTubers (ie, popular opinion wasn't decided by people willing to shill for a Funko bobblehead and a ticket to a red carpet premiere)
