I knew something fishy was going on with Netflix reviews and now we know why.
This is legal bribery but unethical "journalism" (Conflict of Interest).

Original source:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/12/12/netflix-sends-journalists-pricey-trips-raising-questions-angering-rivals/

Netflix received 61 film and television nominations, nearly double the amount of its nearest competitor. The streaming giant also had the movie with the most nominations, Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman," and nearly half of the film best-actor field.

Quote Richard Lewis who won recent Esports Awards 2019
Netflix sent 400 critics on expensive trips to encourage positive reviews and votes for awards. And you wonder why journalists have spent the past 5 years telling you that asking about "ethics in journalism" is a dogwhistle for something more sinister.

@Mortiel Games Industry Consumer Advocate:
This isn't new at all. All other movie and TV studios do it. They are called "For Your Consideration" campaigns, and have been around long before Netflix.

It's absolutely unethical, but let's not pretend that Netflix is doing something new here.

Quote Richard Lewis:
Sure. Probably worth factoring into your consideration that the publication running this story is owned by the billionaire that owns Amazon whose Prime streaming service is a direct competitor to Netflix. It's all a sewer man.

@Mortiel:
Good catch on that. News media completely threw out the concept of Conflict of Interest years ago.

And I have absolutely no doubt Amazon would be sending journalists on these trips too, if they haven't done so already.
