IMDb rating

Hello. We made a little zero budget film: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32474968/ The rating on IMDb is 2.1 mostly because it was rated based on a trailer uploaded on a channel filled with haters, BUT, there is also 3.6 "unweighted" rating which we don't know what it means? We calculated all the ratings together and it does come to around 3.6 NOT 2.1, it's like IMDb does not want to update it? We would understand the bad rating as the movie is far from the best but, because those who rated it did not actually watched it and people who did watch on youtube rated it more positive: channel with 16.000 views has 94% positive review (239 likes, 18 dislikes!) on uvo.tv 4.6 out of 5 Which makes it clear the IMDb was attached by the haters of the trailer. Anyway, question. Why IMDb does not changes to 2.1 to 3.6 rating? Based on the other sites rating the 3.6 make it more realistic. If the YouTube got 18 likes and 239 dislikes, we would understand it. Now we are all confused.

Hi Alux, Please refer to our Ratings FAQ below. It covers the difference between the two ratings you have observed. https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/track-movies-tv/ratings-faq/G67Y87TFYYP6TWAV# I hope this helps!

We posted the movie on another youtube channel and still 95% positive rating which really shows that IMDb is messing up with the rating. I do not understand why? This seems more like IMDb is on purpose showing more negativity to make people pay them to fix the rating. I would show full youtube stats but can not do it on here.
