Youtube also removed the star rating a long time ago because people to rate the extremes: either 1 star or all 5, you don‘t get the benefit of the fine rating system if your users are not capable of rating things correctly
- danielscrubs 6y agoWhich people? A percentage of people? Those extremes are only extreme for people wanting a bell curve. They had more quality in their data but they where incapable of using it because they like to take averages and so they blame the users.
- 1123581321 6y agoNo, they have higher quality data now because they have twice as much engagement with the thumbs system, and users weren’t rating 2-4 stars in a useful way. Losing the review comments was a shame but they were infrequently viewed. As much as it offends my sensibilities, sometimes the best move is to simplify a feature so that improved usage makes up for the loss of the complications.
