Ratings manipulation campaign

I have seen a lot of tweets against 'the Goat Life' film on X

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5525650/

Mainly coming from Saudi Arabian people to rate this film with 1 rating

They are make a campaign 

I hope IMDB staff are aware of it

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11382384/

Hi @laith_i5 -

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.    

                                                                                   
We are aware that there are people who may vote for the sole purpose of trying to inflate/deflate the rating for a movie. We have several safeguards in place to automatically detect and defeat this type of ballot stuffing: even though we count and display all unaltered votes in the rating breakdown, we apply several countermeasures against all attempts to skew the rating for the weighted rating you see displayed on the site.

For more information on our abuse detection methods, or details about IMDb ratings and weighted averages, please refer to our Ratings FAQ.
