Actually rottentomatoes (RT) used to have excellent forums. I started debate post/thread about Donnie Darko that had an insane number of views and posts. I was arguing Darko wasn't about time travel, but instead basically the same theme as Jacobs Ladder, that Donnie had died and was in temporary dream-dimension until he could figure out why he died and then move on in peace. But who knows why, RT took them down.

Amazon bought Imdb that continued to operate autonomously for many years to a point...
2007 Comcast bought Fandango and 2011 NBC/Universal finished becoming majority owner after buying the studio but both company's also still run autonomously supposedly. Around 2016 fandango acquired flixster and rottentomatoes from wb as well as m-go from a separate company that renamed fandangonow (fandango of course would then buy vudu from walmart 2020 combining vudu and fandangonow this year). The internet landscape is continuously changing but less subsidiary as it once was. Online communication is also becoming more streamlined to attract and accomodate the masses is how i perceive it.
Letterboxd and imtb are newer but like youtube have ads have to pay subscription to stop. I only rated on letterboxd to track what watching but find lists more interesting cause not interested in dwelling on films dont like.
