I know there’s occasionally some backlash to reviews that go against a broader positive reception to some media, but do that many people still follow reviews to decide what to check out?

Adjusted title to specify “entertainment media”

Reviews in general? No.
But people were never supposed to “follow reviews” generally to begin with. That’s why Rotten Tomato’s is bad. It’s conceptually the wrong way to go about things.
The way to do it, is to check reviews for movies/games/shows you know already. When you find a reviewer who agrees with everything you think and seems to vibe with you, you can then trust that person’s reviews. And follow their advice in the future.
