It reminded me how important information design is. Amazon has an average number of stars there, but it's no longer visually shown - instead, just a number. I have relied on the stars being "filled up" for so long that it now felt like every product was basically the same: a single, lone star. It was so harder to get an at-a-glance feeling of which products were good and which not-so-good. And unforutnately, that's probably Amazon's goal.
