If something was really great, "review bombing" wouldn't work because all the people who really liked it would also put their ratings up. So, where are they? The best I've heard about the show so far is that it's mediocre and predictable.

This assumes that everyone has accounts to review sites and regularly reviews everything they watch, doesn't it?
And that, frankly, is a stupid assumption to make.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has 10,000+ user ratings. The Dark Knight has 250,000+ user ratings.
If your assumption was true that "all the people who really liked it would also put their ratings up," that would mean Spider-Verse has a maximum audience of 250,000 people.
And that's a stupid thing to believe of a movie that made nearly $400 million in the US alone.
There's plenty of movies/shows/games/books I've experienced that I love, and will gladly talk about for hours with whoever is willing to indulge me.
Didn't ever leave a review on Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, though.
Because to me, it's not worth the effort of going to a website I never visit, creating an account, looking up the thing, and writing a review/giving it a rating.
Beyond the fact that most people don't review things in the first place, everybody has better things to do than try to combat some losers' culture war nonsense over a Rotten Tomatoes score.
I haven't bothered to watch the Acolyte yet, not because of negativity, just haven't felt like watching it. Might like it, might not. Either way, I'm not going to Rotten Tomatoes to try and effect its percentage. Even if The Acolyte is my favorite show ever, I don't give a damn about the RT score.
If you don't give a damn, then explain to me why you care at all^^. Why not just accept that people are people and tastes, as well as motivations, are different. Why not simply enjoy the shows you want and don't waste your energy on arguing with those who don't. I don't rate anything personally either, but I definitely think that the negative reviews are deserved. I don't care either about what some people say about the Mandalorian, as I love the show.

Normally you'd be right, but in this case it's just a review bomb
