The new review sorting

I have no information on why the review sorting has shifted from "Helpfulness" or most helpful to "Prolific reviewer". I have many issues but I'll keep it short.

Doing so gives way too much protagonism to a few reviewers that, as many reviews as they might have written, does not in any way make them prolific or more worthy. They certainly do have an achievement in their hands, but that should be reduced to an optional feature that you should go out of your way to select. I already know Martin Hafer and TheLittleSongibrd by name, and I don't know why I should. The fact these people have more free time to write more reviews does not make them the ultimate opinions everybody should be reading first. This is exemplified and made worst by the fact that many of the reviewers who are the most abundant can be in that position only by the fact that they write short and unsubtantial reviews a lot. Which I could dedicate myself to tomorrow to get to the top.

It completely burries good reviews posted by non-regulars, and ultimately it makes the "Was this review helpful?" feature sterile, because even though someone can sort by "Helpfulness", most users won't, as they casually see the reviews that appear first and stick to that. And the race to write a good review and have it go to the top by the will of the people now feels reduced to a very narrow group of people who use the sort features, and who wants that?

It's one of the worst, most ass-backwards changes IMDb has done in a while, and that's saying something because they are always screwing their site and retroactively correcting it. I hope this will be the case as well and this message can get to someone who has any power over it.
