    But also an aggregated numeric value is not a criticism at all

    How’s that? If 10 of your coworkers rated your job performance as 5/10; would you think that’s not a critical indicator of a failing performance?

    How about viewer count, shall we go look that up?

      It could be a terrible indicator of your actual performance, if five of your coworkers rated you a ten honestly, but the other five rated you a zero because they hated the Black Lives Matter sign in your cubicle.

        Yeah and if it had absolutely nothing to do with the black lives matter sign, and the person inserted the black lives matter sign as a defense, then what is it?

          Then it is still meaningless if 5 rate you a 10 and 5 a 0. What would this rating say about you?

      No. I’ve never been evaluated in such a fashion, and I’d resent it if I were. I think my boss should have the competence to judge my work on its own merits. I judge the shows I watch the same way.

      I’m confused as to your purpose here. You seem to be arguing that the show is bad because it’s unpopular. Is that how you form all your opinions? Popular vote, no need to think for yourself?

        The premis of the thread seems to be that the show is getting review bombed because of MAGA. I pointed out that filtering out the United States still gives abysmally low scores.

        If you look at viewer count (low) and review bombs (high), it seems to indicate that the producers are wildly out of touch with what the majority of the Star Trek audience is about.

          What? No. The video OP posted was talking about specific nonsense positions put forward by specific nonsense people. I don’t believe it mentioned view counts or review aggregators. You’re the one who brought those up.

          You seem very concerned with how popular this show is. To the point where, when I asked you if popularity is all you base your opinions on, all you could do is loop around to trying to convince me that that this show is unpopular. I guess that’s my answer.

            The video OP posted was talking about specific nonsense positions put forward by specific nonsense people.

            Which might not be stated but I feel is a defensive response to the negative reviews.

            Is this video about MAGA response?

            Are the negative reviews most likely from MAGA style viewers?

            Yes? Then the two are absolutely connected.

            You seem very concerned with how popular this show is.

            I’ve answered this multiple times. Low viewship and high review bombs clearly indicate a disconnect between production and what’s expected by the audience. Sure they can produce whatever they want, but if Ford Motors starts producing coffee, then don’t be surprised when their customer base says “WTF, we don’t want this, we never asked for this”.

              You’re saying that any rejoinder offered to any criticism that might have been levied to by a right winger is de facto an accusation of review bombing and an assertion of the show’s popularity in spite of such?

              Stretch Armstrong could not stretch this far. Michael Jordan at the end of Space Jam has nothing on you. You are one stretchy, stretchy individual.

              And you’re still trying to argue with me about how popular the show is! Amazing.

                No. I’m not saying that.
