This is not surprising considering Disney was paying Rotten Tomatoes to fudge the numbers for Captain Marvel way back then.

There's more - remember the pushback on the forums when claims were made that movies like Craptain Marvel had fake ticket sales evidenced by empty theater seats? Well now shareholders are suing Disney for misrepresenting their home streaming numbers.

Just more evidence on the pile that indicates these companies are protecting their agenda-projects as "successes".

I keep saying it, nowadays conspiracy theories are just spoilers. They're pretty much truths the left refuse to acknowledge until it's convenient to... and even then...???

A more precise title would be "A PR firm has been paying critics whose reviews are being aggregated by Rotten Tomatoes for their reviews," as the existing title implies Rotten Tomatoes is somehow themselves a party to this. They're just tabulating the data from the reviews. And not surprising in the least.
