What is it about?
This work examines how reviewers in IMDb grow from novices to experts in terms of rating, readability and usefulness. Reviewers’ growth is conceptualized along two dimensions. One dimension includes three stages of the reviewer lifecycle, namely, novice, intermediate, and expert. The other dimension captures the rate of maturity.

Why is it important?
The popularity of reviews notwithstanding, research suggests that only a small fraction of reviewers remain active contributors in an online community. Most reviewers leave the community after posting only a handful of entries due to lack of motivation and incentive. Commonly referred as the Funnel Model, the proportion of reviewers who actually remain passionate contributors could be as low as two percent. It is important to find out more about this special two percent of the online community.
