Five-star-ratings everywhere
-
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
I usually save 4 stars for attempted kidnappings, its important to distinguish these things.

Small secret.
When companies compare performances they see only three categories.
0-1 star reviews are bad.
2-3 are okay.
4-5 are great.This is because in the end the well written review you gave to the product after testing it for 100 hours and gave the product 4 stars because of the minor flaws is pretty much the same as some randomass teens hype review 5 stars.
In the end you both liked it and there is no urgent need to fix anything.
As a consumer you should just trust to the wisdom of the crowd to tell truth.

Give 5 stars to this comment or I report You for any other score as harassment!
Also I add extra gifts for any 5 star ratings!
Corrupted, it is all corrupted.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Remember boys and girls, a 4 out of 5 star review on any platform that doesn't allow a zero star, is only a 75% grade. Not an 80% like these hucksters imply. Thats a solid C, not a B. Let's not give in to this corporate delusion anymore
3-5 = 50% =/= 60%
2-5 =25% =/= 40%
It's a false show of satisfaction in the very least. A rotting manifestation of the soulless corporation not allowing any amount of transparency stop them from pulling the curtain closed tighter, on the, "oh fuck," side.
I think they are actually aware the curtains are silk and quite see through. I think we can all agree we've crossed the event horizon. Everything is going to get pulled in soon.

It always seems like, for most people, the middle three stars might as well not exist. Was it acceptable? Five stars. Do I want to complain? One star. There is no in-between.

Except it isn't even an objective scale other folks are rating something a 5 for not being complete POS and being 5 dollars treating it as an objective scale and using a different one from planet Earth is less than useful.
Yeah which is why I pretty much ignore stars unless someone has a rubric in their profile, or an actual review attached.
Solely numeric reviews are basically no better than up and down votes. Good for automation or algorithms, but largely useless to humans.

Who asked them?
they're the ones who decided that anything less than a perfect score is an "opportunity for improvement" in other words "do better or you're fired".
-
The times I've done it were for:
- One guy who had his phone in his steering wheel and was playing some sort of online gambling the whole drive and didn't look directly at the road once
- One guy who was driving around on a spare tire (doughnut) on the highway at speeds way above those it said on the tire.
I mean I can look the other way on just about anything (I've given 5* to a lot of questionable driving decisions and shitty cars) but when you are putting my life at risk, that's where I draw the line.
Yep perfectly justified but you can't actually couch gambling guy you really just need to fire him because he'll continue to be a moron.

It’s the kind of thing that honestly should be regulated.

Perfection is a goal,
Not a default

What if the company pays a bot farm to give 5 star ratings to everything?

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.

Involving money in reviews undermines the whole foundation of honest unbiased feedback.

...and very good at a 9 and exceptional at a 10.
Sounds like a good scale to me. You need headroom for a really good experience.
It also allows a lot of room for bad experiences, which is important.
"They tried their best but failed" could be a 5. "This is a scam and I am lucky I wasn't caught" could be a 1. "It was bad, plus they had a bad attitude" could be a 3.

Big corp has 10 ratings, and anything under 9 is deemed failure.

asking for reviews does that too. The company can choose who they ask. Reviewers being paid for their work is fine.

I think old and current newgrounds rating give a pretty clear representation of what each star mean.
It's old tho.
I seem to remember at one point, a 0 rating said "DIE IN A FIRE"
Maybe that was the scale for music?
