I indulge in the "Disney is buying user reviews!" conspiracy, only because I think it's fucking hilarious that that's the narrative after "Disney is buying critic reviews!"

I don't actually believe that it's the case, the extent of my enjoyment of that meme is that internet nerds will believe in anything as long as it suits their stupid self-absorbed narrative.

I will say that even with its incredibly choppy pacing, I liked Rise of Skywalker more than TLJ - and I actually like to talk about TLJ critically instead of trashing it completely for Canto Bight and Luke Skywalker. The second half of RoS is still popcorn-munching fluff, but the pacing chills out ever-so-slightly after a point and I found it to be a more entertaining movie after TLJ's slow-ass pacing, redundant story and stale humor. It's not a very good movie - TFA stands as the best movie of the sequel trilogy - but I can respect RoS more than I respect the abysmal pacing of Last Jedi.

First half is extremely ass, and if the whole movie was a shitty rush-job like the first half of the movie, I might have considered it to be worse than TLJ. But the movie balances out the pace to the point that it becomes watchable, and the dumb action hype of the movie is enough to get it through.
