I had a similar story - user said that even though their review is wrong, "I'll let it stay because I don't feel like changing it".
Really makes you question what is going on in the heads of people around you.
- always_good 8y agoI noticed my ex-girlfriend rating our Uber driver 3/5 stars once we arrived at the airport. I asked her what was wrong with him. She said he was fine but it was just an average ride, nothing exceptional. And that she's only given out one 4/5 and zero 5/5's. Not her fault. What choice do you have but to assign your own arbitrary meanings to each star, and how aren't those going to vary from person to person? I never looked at 5-star rating systems the same.
- degrews 8y agoI agree it's frustrating that most sites leave it up to each individual user to decide what each star rating means. On the other hand, I don't think it's really a problem as long as users are consistent. It doesn't matter how "harsh" they are as long as everyone has similar odds of getting a harsh reviewer. I do tend to leave slightly below-average ratings because I like leaving room for truly exceptional products/experiences to get a higher rating.
