Yes, the inflation of ratings has been ridiculous. It's meaningless even in supposedly heavily guarded services like Audible. Just about every audio book is 4.3

Yes, the inflation of ratings has been ridiculous. It's meaningless even in supposedly heavily guarded services like Audible. Just about every audio book is 4.3 stars out of 5 or higher. I just use what's behind the fractional number as a rough guide (since everything will be 4.something) and go with that. Except even then it appears that many titles are inflated via click farms.
