Rotten tomatoes are a bunch of plebeians.

It sucks but you should know that most companies will be doing a similar thing in the future. Locking content behind a sign up. It's the only way to definitively protect against bots stealing content

registration does not stop bots. they did it because they want you into the amazon ecosystem.

It's impossible to prevent a dedicated and financed botmaster but by requiring an email/phone number you're at least presenting them with an additional blocker. IP bans are damn near useless. Chinese websites have required phone numbers to sign in via a unique code sent to you (every time) for years in addition to their unique form of captchas and they don't have any bot problems at all. The west will take time but they will 100% move to this model

They don't? Nigga, they're operating the botfarms and pointing it outwards.

Yeah it's not even an issue.

IMDB's database and advanced search are what the site is good for anyway. That shit is absolutely priceless for finding films to watch.

Yeah, OUTWARDS. The only real botted things that happens in China are WeChat scams or plain old school text, call and email spam/scams.
