I guess. The claim is they got rid of them after Amy Schumer's stand-up got low ratings. But to me I think the audience deserves a voice (I didn't see it, and don't mind her films, personally. She's whatever, no strong feelings either way). It's helpful in getting an idea what the film is really about and if I'd like it.

Same reason rumors persist they got rid of imdb boards partly due to the rsponse to the recent and controversial film I'm not your negro.

I'M NOT YOUR NEGRO is one of the finest documentaries about race in America I have ever seen. Yet, before this outstanding film even opened anywhere in America the film's page was inundated with 1 star ratings and racist troll reviews.
Any insightful, well researched and factual political documentary that has a liberal or humanistic slant is likewise relentlessly voted down and inundated with ugly one star reviews from bigoted right wingers - most of whom have almost certainly not seen the films. Thanks to this sort of shit one can no longer trust the IMDB ratings for many, many films and documentaries. One cannot blame the IMDB for getting rid of the boards. It sucks for us movie buffs, but they became contaminated with hate at about the time Trump started his rise.
