RT's increasing popularity has created pressure to make more mass-appeal mediocre movies, as movies are rewarded for being "watchable" and get no bonus points for being "excellent" (and excellence which might turn off segments of the audience if any controversial choices are made en route).

I'm not entirely convinced this is a result of RT. Studios have been looking for ways to produce broad appeal blockbusters forever.
