Grade inflation, review inflation. It's rampant. No wonder people graduate and then have a meltdown when their poor or mediocre performance on the job gets called out.
People are too dumb to understand what "excellent" means, now. Why should I feel like an asshole if I don't give EVERY Lyft driver FIVE STARS, BEST EVAR!!!111!!!
- woodruffw 4y agoAt least in the context of Lyft, the problem is that The Algorithm (tm) punishes drivers disproportionately: a handful of bad reviews (which could amount to a couple of passengers in bad moods on a single day) might mean being permanently banned from your source of income. (The entire idea of "reviewing" a rideshare is ridiculous to begin with: you can't select the driver you're matched with, so the it's not as much a "review" as it is a way to algorithmically punish non-employees.)
- bombcar 4y agoAmusingly enough, in a mass-review situation like with the Lyft driver, there really are only two options, 5 star or 0 star (or whatever the lowest is) - as everything else is sub-optimal in actually affecting the rating. They should switch to a "would you ride again y/n" instead.
