One way to void this is for RT to give you a custom score for each movie of how much you will like it.

They would generate that score by looking at other things you have rated, finding ~100 other users who have voted similarly to you, and then showing the scores that those other users thought of each movie you are thinking of watching.

This is much harder to bot, since you will only see the botted scores if you yourself vote like a bot.

I hope they don’t use the same algorithm that Netflix uses because apparently there are tons of awful movies on Netflix that I am 87% likely to enjoy.

Just watch a few of them and give them bad ratings and the algorithm will adjust to know you better.

Or they can just bring back the Rating system, and let users provide feedback to other users.... Instead of trying to hide that because they do not like the feedback some users give their "original content"

Netflix streaming only has a few thousand movies in the first place, the odds of them being able to give more than a few dozen good recommendations to anybody is pretty bad. And for people with particular tastes, the odds will be even worse. Their catalogue is simply too small.
