I honestly stopped paying attention to Rotten Tomatoes when they rated Chapelle in the teens but audience gave it like 90%

RT doesn’t rate anything themselves. They just average out critic ratings and audience ratings. What you referred to as RT rating Chapelle in the teens was the average critic score. Lots of stuff has a huge disparity between critical reception and audience reception. Being mad at RT for doing what they are designed to do and displaying both is ridiculous.

I never pay attention to the critic score. The audience score is much more indicative of how much I'll like the movie.

I took about four or five courses (been a decade now) of film review in college - majored in journalism. I was smitten (yes I said smitten!) with everything that went into a review and how complex of a job it ‘was.’ Nowadays it disgusts me because critics don’t appreciate the art and disregard the camera work, settings, etc. if the message goes against their beliefs.

Theyre just a review aggregator that compares the number of favorable reviews against unfavorable reviews. If everyone gives a movie 3/5 stars then it gets 100%.

Personally I'm not going to discuss the Chapelle rating specifically, but there are likely some broader reasons it got the ratings it did.

It's not really that broad. The reviewers are strongly Left leaning and their vote reflects that.

Your comment wasn't really offensive, but this is reddit.
