I know there’s occasionally some backlash to reviews that go against a broader positive reception to some media, but do that many people still follow reviews to decide what to check out?

Edit:
Adjusted title to specify “entertainment media”

    Ok but like… what media?

    Just movies? I haven’t read a review in years. I know from the trailer if I want to see it or not. Maybe I’ll stumble upon a video discussing something about it and become intrigued or turned away.

    I do seek out reviews of video games because it is usually a significant cost and I want to make sure it’s something I’ll like. Both print and video.
