I can safely say up/down voting is pretty terrible across all social media. You end up with HN and Reddit: popularity contests. Meanwhile, popular movies are rarely the ones worth watching, and the top 100 movies on metacritic is a grab bag of (great) movies that probably don't fit your taste profile. Meanwhile, I have to like all the things the same amount. This is just going to lead to me not rating the vast majority of mediocre content on the platform. Why not let you choose as a user?
