Should probably also be acknowledged that the sample size is not going to be the same.

You're going to get a bunch of people piling in to highly rate the early episodes that they remember watching when they were kids, but a significantly lower number are going to be voting on the episodes that came later.

Really the whole premise of trying to compare and contrast the seasons for such a long running show that existed before IMDb even started is flawed on many levels.

If the music labels are botting up Spotify playcounts, are media producers botting up IMDb ratings?

Yes, it has been observed that IMDb sometimes get a lot of new "single post users" putting in 10/10 ratings on Disney movies that otherwise scored badly.
