In my opinion the only solution is to murder any and all ideas of "review scores". Those seem to be the most harmful homogenizing force. They eliminate nuance.

In my opinion the only solution is to murder any and all ideas of "review scores". Those seem to be the most harmful homogenizing force. They eliminate nuance. They hide subjectivity behind an illusion of "objectivity" (because numbers are always "objective", right?). They make it too easy to spot "outliers" from the norm (and "punish" them if you are a media giant planning the next ad contract or layoff plan or a rabid fanbase planning a hate raid). Of course, murdering review scores is an extreme solution and also probably an impossible feat. Too many businesses are built upon the illusion of aggregate review scores as "objectively" good things (Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, Yelp, Amazon, AirBNB, Uber, and on and on and on). But we can still dream the impossible dream that more people wake up to how rotten these statistics are below the surface and it eventually becomes a cultural mandate to stop using bad metrics for cultural homogenization.
