IMDB's response to the "dysfunctional" starmeter is BS

[July 1, 2024, 3:39 PM] Calderon, Ana Bethel: The STARmeter ranking is based on several statistical indicators including the frequency and number of people who view an individual's IMDb page. The STARmeter ranking can change week over week based on this. When statistical calculations are performed on such a large sample of data, even small variations in popularity can produce significant changes in rank. When an individual is very popular, the average interest of users over time remains fairly constant. With less popular names, it's more common to have sudden and sharp increases or decreases in the number of people who visit their page or see their filmography credits.
