Do you read mainstream movie critics to decide whether to see a film?
Yes- I'd rather listen to a professional
No- I like independent or amateurs
I don't look at reviews to help me decide, I usually wait until I've seen something a couple of times then I watch a review or two.

It’s really both for me. I listen to the general consensus of professionals, and then I watch a few YouTubers I like

I’ll also add that it’s very rare for me to have not made up my mind already if I was seeing something or not. Usually I watch the YouTubers only after I’ve seen it myself or decided I’m not seeing — if it’s the latter, they could potentially change my mind
Not by much, tho. People will always have a bias or agenda, be it monetary, political, or just to get on a bandwagon. I voted this way because bias in Independent creators isn't a systemic problem like it is in professional circles. It all comes down ti the individual here.

Nothing against the big professionals, I just have my go-to guys (who just happen to be smaller names) and know how their opinions align with mine (at least most of the times).
