Seems like when it comes to ratings it's pretty much all or nothing. Great videos prompt action; anything less prompts indifference.
> Why would the default rating be the very top of the scale?!
Because most people don't care about an average meal, but they do care when it's bad or great.
- CydeWeys 10y agoYeah, but you are forced to rate every Uber ride. If I'm being forced to rate something I'm indifferent about, I'll go with the indifferent option every time, namely, the middle of the scale. Most restaurants I'd never bother rating (they'd implicitly be getting ~3s); it's only the ones that I really loved or hated that I'd bother rating, and then likely with a 1 or a 5. The only Uber rating I actually ever cared about was a terrible unsafe driver who got into a yelling match with another driver who I gave a 1 and then wrote a lengthy report about. Every other rating has been mostly indifferent, just a ride from one place to another.
