    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?

      Good luck convincing HR, or any of the assholes in corporate.

        If I get asked to rate something it's probably going to be a 4 or a 3 unless it's bad, 5 means as good as it can be and unless a 6 gets added then it's unrealistic to give a 5

          The only two ratings that matter are 5 and 1.

          5 = Met expectations

          1 = Bad

          Ah, but consider

          5 = Exceptional

          4 = Met expectations

          1 = Bad

            Every single person that I get requested to rate gets five stars plus a positive comment because fuck you gig economy.

            I don’t think this is actually having the effect you think it does. The people running these things still need the same number of workers in total, so all you’re really doing is contributing to the effect that OP is describing, where the gig workers getting marked down becomes arbitrary and random rather than related to whether they do their job.

            The way to protest gig work is not to do business with companies that use it.

                I've worked at two call centers, both anything below a 5/4 as a 0

                  What I love is when it's a one star with review and it's some asinine shit they failed at or something like a missing piece from a 1000 piece puzzle.

                  That would be terrible to miss that one piece after doing all that work.

                  But how could you ever prove it wasn't you who lost it?

                    I disagree. To me, "ok" means adequate and unremarkable.

                      Yeah, that makes sense actually. Looking at it again, that's not really the problem. "Bad" is the direct opposite of "Good", they should be at symmetrical spots of the spectrum. Both versions have it wrong. If Bad is the worst rating, Good should be the best. I still say get rid of "some issues," it just sounds too benign to me for the second-worst possible rating, change it to "bad" and make 1/5 stars Terrible or something equally inversely comparable with "Exceptional".

                        I think old and current newgrounds rating give a pretty clear representation of what each star mean.

                        It's old tho.

                            This is working as intended, though. In most cases, nobody cares how stoked you are about the product, people mostly care which flaws the product has. With a target average of, say, 4.5, the 5-star system gives you options to give +0.5 stars all the way down to -3.5, giving negative reviews significantly more weight.

                                  The lower scheme is how I rate media, for service it's unfortunately the upper one because I don't want to fuck anybody over who's just doing their job.

                                    For hr or Uber or similar the scale is this:

                                    5 stars = meh, expected experience

                                    4 stars or lower = your employee literally tried to kill me

                                      Be careful with it, though, because if someone on minimum wage is somehow linked with your less than perfect rating, corporate are going to be on their case to improve their numbers.

                                        Capitalism tries to get as much out of their employees as possible. Meaning employees fear of losing your job of you don't get the highest rating. And if you are in the USA that means losing benefits and quickly running out of money. Give employees the highest rating, unless it actually bad, because they are forced to live in capitalism.

                                          4 does not meet corporate expectations and some minimum wage person who dealt with you is going to get shouted at.
