Review bombing on Breaking Bad and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms alike.

Apparently Breaking Bad fans have been "review bombing" AKOTSK episodes, and AKOTSK have been review bombing BB episodes alike. Below are some reviews of Ozymandias, now a 9.9 instead of a 10, clearly due to review bombing.

I would also like to note that some of the reviews that are supposably from Breaking bad fans on the new AKOTSK episode are clearly satire, possibly sent by AKOTSK to start a "review war".

Episode 4.03 of BB has also dropped to a 7.9, though there’s a chance that this could be unrelated.

I respect both shows equally, let it be known that I am not picking sides.

It appears that some individuals are creating fake accounts to deliberately rate the Ozymandias episode from Breaking Bad with extremely low scores (such as 2/10) in an attempt to lower its overall rating. The episode previously held a perfect 10.0 rating, and it has now dropped to 9.9 as a result. I sincerely hope there will be a review of these suspicious ratings and that any fake or inauthentic votes will be removed. IMDb has long been considered a benchmark for fair and honest audience ratings, and allowing coordinated fake accounts to manipulate scores could seriously damage its credibility.

I don’t think this “war” should continue, but if there is any justice, then we got it, and I guess the BB community got that too. You should never rate another show low just because you don’t want it to pass yours — which wouldn’t happen anyway. It’s not fair, and it ruins the value of the rating system itself.

I am writing because something keeps happening with the ratings and it is honestly frustrating to watch. A recent release, AKOTSK, dropped from 10.0 to 9.8 very quickly. That kind of drop actually happens a lot. Ratings spike at first, then they settle over time. That part is normal. But instead of understanding that, some fans started blaming Breaking Bad fans for the drop. Then people began review bombing in response. Now it has turned into both sides giving extreme low ratings to each other’s shows. At this point the scores are not reflecting real opinions anymore. It is just retaliation. Neither show deserves that. Ratings should not turn into fan wars. When this back and forth starts, it makes the whole system feel unreliable. I really hope you can take a closer look at this pattern. It keeps happening whenever a major episode challenges a top rating, and it ruins what should be an honest audience score. I wish you do something and remove these reviews from the bombers.
