This userscript uses IMDb's raw vote values to re-compute the rating (and the total of votes) of the film, without the bias included by their algorithm. It replaces the displayed value with the result and tells you if there is a difference.
It also allows you to alter the result based on some basic preferences.
You can choose which votes to use:
- All voters (default)
US voters only (2023/05/15) currently disabled due to new design in "ratings" pagenon-US voters onlyTop 1000 votersaggregate of US and non-US voters
You can discard:
- "10"
- "10" if it is the highest %
- "10" if highest and "9" is a very small % of "10"
- "1"
- "9" if it is the highest % (and "10" if you want)
The userscript is active on the "title" page, the "title/reference" page, the episodes list page. There are 2 options to enable this also for the "chart" page (top 250) and "search" page ("/search/" is in the path)
The script configuration menu can be opened by ctrl + alt + left-click-ing the rating value, and, on the page with more than one rating, the title element of the page (eg. "Episode List"). You can also click your userscript manager's icon to open its popup, and click the "Settings" line next to the userscript name.
I've verified that it works in both tampermonkey and violentmonkey.
The script gets the values by downloading imdb.com/title/tt0000000/ratings... in the background, storing the data and using it for a period of 16 hours (configurable).
For pages with multiple items, when it needs to fetch the values from the server, it does it without hammering the server. This means that it could take several seconds to fill all the elements. It's almost instantaneous when the values are cached. Note that "aggregate of US and non-US voters" is particularly long to load since it needs to get 2 sets of data per film/episode.
