Our Core Principles – Transparency is Our Default Setting

We OTT Ratings don’t just hit “play”—we obsess over every detail so you don’t have to. Here’s our uncompromising approach:

1. No Freebies, No Bias
   • We pay for 100% of subscriptions (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) out of pocket.
   • We never accept free access, sponsored content, or gifts from streaming platforms.
2. Humans Only
   • Zero AI-generated reviews. Every word is written by our team after first hand viewing.
3. For Viewers, By Viewers
   • We prioritize your experience—not algorithms or studio partnerships.

The 6-Step OTT Ratings Review Process

Step 1: Watch Everything (Yes, Everything)

• Full Seasons: No skipped episodes or fast-forwarding.
• Multiple Devices: We test on smart TVs, tablets, and phones to assess consistency.

How We Stay Fair & Unbiased

We work hard to keep our reviews honest. Here’s how:

1. Secret Testing
   • We use fake accounts for 30% of reviews so streaming platforms can’t trick us with special treatment.
2. Diverse Team
   • Our reviewers include:
     • Young anime fans.
     • Documentary lovers.
     • Movie experts with decades of experience.
   • This mix ensures no one perspective dominates.
3. Yearly Ethics Training
   • We take workshops with independent experts to spot hidden biases and stay accountable.

Bottom Line: No backroom deals, no favoritism—just straight-up honest reviews.
