My teen-aged niece has already figured out those sites can't be trusted much due to studio influence and social media campaigns. On the old IMDB GoT boards we'd post links to the sites which would generate hundreds or thousands of votes where you wanted them for a modest fee and evidence of 500+ zero or ten appearing nearly instantaneously on shows which had been out for years but became controversial to some political faction.
The guys on the Dark Knight Rises board used to organize raids on the Marvel boards & brag about how many sock accounts they had. Every so often someone would post hey, I found an old sock password so I can vote this or that down or up. Yeah, there was a lot of that on the GoT board too, but from what I saw many used their socks just for gaslighting, jacking around other posters and 'moderating' the board with reports. What I was talking about was more on an industrial scale, people would provide evidence by posting links to sites where you could buy 500 votes for $19.99 and such, not just the IMDB site either.
