A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
The race may already be lost, but still.
I also struggle with people liberally handing out "11/10" for "great" and go up to 12 for "awesome".
My scale for "great" is 8, "awesome" is 9 and 10 is reserved for really special things (greay by itself + some additional bonus).
I always feel weird, like I'm overly critical, when someone else says "Oh this is great, I love this, 11/10" and I feel the same but only hand out 8.7/10.
A long time ago I adopted the Jinx's Rating For All Things system and it's served me very well. It is very similar to OPs suggestion.
I personally think the 5-star rating system is perfect. Any more than that and a lot of the mid-tier ratings become arbitrary and everything is subject to immediacy bias. Tastes change over time and how much you like stuff changes, but I've found that they rarely change buckets in this system.
I don't understand why someone cares if they like one thing "just a little bit more" than another. It doesn't have to be a competition. Do you like it or do you love it? Is it core to understanding you as a person? Did you have an amazing time?
I just don't provide ratings. You shouldn't either. Reviewing is a job. Some people are professional reviewers. Don't do free labor for corporations. Do not rate products or services.
my rating system is relative… 5 stars? only if i think its worth it… a star less that its score means i dont think it deserved that score (even for 3s etc); a star more, i think it deserved more… generally wont go less than 2 stars less unless they really deserved it
What if the company pays a bot farm to give 5 star ratings to everything?
I never give five stars, there is always room for improvement.
So for the instead rating, what would a dildo server under when only 2 stars? Like what would people try to even put down at that point?
Dildo shared your usage data. 1 stars would be it electrocuted or poisoned you.
