Dear IMDb:
On August 9, 2019, I, Ryota Nakanishi who is a consumer of IMDb Pro service recently got informed by friendly netizens about your manipulation of IMDb rating against our films and others.
I myself checked the situation and deeply disappointed about some of your staff ‘s uncivilized, childish behavior like manipulation of rating of films. It is unfair and outrageous for small independent filmmakers.
All of your manipulation of scores will be recorded and piled for the future use and publication.
IMDb was great in the past but now they are aggressively oppressing some filmmakers. My case is just a tip of the iceberg of your aggressive manipulation.
IMDb actually violated my human rights, consumer rights and trust on their service. This time, you breached years of our mutual trust.
