I have no doubt you are right about the people who rate online (you definitely see it in restaurant ratings and comment sections) but when I rate movies on Netflix I very, very rarely ever rate something a 1 or a 5. I would imagine that 2/3 of what I rate has been a three (so average content for me) and that it takes something special to go up or down from there.
Just curious if I am an outlier with how I do my ratings.
- vvvv 10y agoInteresting. I pretty much only rate 1s and 5s, hoping that this will influence what content is recommended to me.
- tbirrell 10y agoI'm the same way. 1 - Terrible. Good Lord, who thought making this was a good idea? 2 - Poor. Would not watch again 3 - Fair. Neither for or against. Unlikely to watch again, but I don't grudge the time spent. 4 - Good. I enjoyed it. I would probably watch again. 5 - Exceptional. Probably in my top 10 now, and foresee enjoying watching for years to come. 3 and 4 are used a lot. 2 is used occasionally. 1 and 5 are rare.
- fryguy 10y agoI prefer the Goodreads rating system which compresses 1 and 2: 1 - Did not like it 2 - It was ok 3 - Liked it 4 - Really liked it 5 - It was amazing The reason being is that most books won't end up being 1 or 2, and there really isn't much difference between them. But it sucks giving 2 stars to something that wasn't bad. Perhaps emoji arranged in a non-star-like pattern would be the best.
