_Let users choose from five stars, and they nearly always pick three_
Amazon has the problem of bimodal distributions for their ratings...nearly every user either votes one star (and bitches, "If I could choose zero, I would") or five. They've actually started sending emails to people requesting reviews to fix this problem (to get the silent majority to vote.)
- aston 19y agoI think the "liked it"/"hated it" options are basically enough all the time, at least in aggregate. RottenTomatoes.com seems to end up with good ratings despite reducing the answer space to green or red tomatoes.
