Not satire, I’m also at exactly 4.88 and worried about it... I use uber as my main form of transportation!

  I 'm also at 4.88! And has been there for 4 years, never went up or down (at least I haven't noticed it. I don't exactly sweat over it. Only checked when someone asks which is like once per year). I can imagine 2 things. 1. Actual rating is way lower and uber is hiding it from us. 2. Their system is buggy.

    Isn't it as simple as the more rides you take, the harder it is to alter your average?

      And it never moved by a factor of even 0.01? Since they are probably doing some rounding, it never moved by 0.005? Maybe it did and by the time I checked it was back at 4.88. It's interesting that many people in this thread report 4.88 though. I would assume Uber wants to obfuscate recent ratings (eg if you notice when your rating changed, you might pin point the driver and add a case against them if you 're vengeful enough). Maybe it's similar to the number 300 for youtube (where views stop being counted in realtime and they are being grouped + analyzed). Who knows.

  Yes you better watch out! Step in dog poop right before entering an Uber and not noticing could get you a negative rating. I hope you don’t have any medical issues which may cause you to have an odor that may cause a negative rating. Or someone hacks your account and you get blacklisted from the ride service. This seems all to balck mirror
