Whenever I look at a product that I am in doubt about I look into the reviews that gave it two or three stars.
It's like a secret communication channel were you don't have to listen to the paid raters at 5 or the angry mob shouting about how it didn't <something completely irrelevant> or how it arrive late because of customs.
In the same way I write a two star rating when I really dislike something so other smart people can easily find my message ;-)
- Karrot_Kream 5y agoI think there's an interesting nugget of sociology in that. Perhaps segmenting populations (not necessarily through ML, just a star rating or a ladder ranking or Likert scale could be enough) when rating something offers better visibility to people in that cohort about their shared attitudes in the matter.
