Review algorithm is broken

Take a look at the reviews for the movie Dual (2022) (tt9005184). Sorted by "featured" my review is 43rd on the list.

107 upvotes out of 175, meaning 61% helpful

I am also considered a "prolific reviewer" by IMDb.

My review is listed AFTER the following significantly lower helpful percentages, lower total votes, and by users who are not "prolific reviewers." The algorithm is broken. Please send this to you tech team.

7 out of 22 = 32%

14 out of 30 = 46%

25 out of 59 = 42%

4 out of 10 = 40%

23 out of 53 = 43%

9 out of 26 = 35%

@FeastMode277 Thanks for the feedback, however, the “featured” sort is not simply a sort via helpful votes; there are several other factors which play into this sort order.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response @Col_Needham

I am aware that it takes into account different factors. But did you see the examples I gave. There is no possible reasoning for those to be above mine. It almost feels like I'm being censored. Like "prolific reviewer" status means you get pushed down.

Please help me make sense of it. It's driving me crazy.

@FeastMode277 Your prolific reviewer status is one of the factors included in the algorithm, but it counts positively, not negatively.
