basically, all ratings do for me now are truncate outcomes, stuff that’s rated really badly is probably best to be avoided, and stuff that’s rated really highly is unlikely to be horrible. but that’s about it, more often than not, I’d classify things rated quite highly as average/mediocre, and far far short of “excellent”
- jaclaz 3y agoYes, personally I find that most (with a very few exceptions) transactions are "honest", I expect to pay x for x services, or y for y services, if this happens there is nothing to be said on the matter. In an appropriate scale these, let's say 95% of total experiences, would get a 3 or 4 stars rating, the 5 stars would be for the - still say - 2 or 3 percent actually exceptional, and the 1 star for those 2 or 3 percent that are really a total disaster.
