Even though it seems like shrinking the available options will lead to less fine-grained data, sometimes it seems like it actually works out better. I really liked how Four Square only had thumbs up and thumbs down as the allowed ratings. I feel like it did a very good job of capturing how aligned with expectations the restaurant experience was. It also made it really painless to give feedback.
- 3JPLW 7y agoYup, I really miss UrbanSpoon for the same reason (now owned by zomato and totally ruined). I found it's percent-thumbs-up metric to be so much more valuable than Yelp's 5-star average. If you really want a finer-grained system, have multiple thumbs-up, thumbs-downs.
- swilliamsio 7y agoYouTube originally had a five star rating system for each video but switched to the current thumbs up/down system. I believe the reason given was that almost all viewers either give five stars or one star, which made the middle three ratings pointless.
