The race may already be lost, but still.
Big corp has 10 ratings, and anything under 9 is deemed failure.
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.
The internet used to be a better place
asking for reviews does that too. The company can choose who they ask. Reviewers being paid for their work is fine.
What if the company pays a bot farm to give 5 star ratings to everything?
Perfection is a goal,
Not a default
It’s the kind of thing that honestly should be regulated.
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.

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.
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.
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.

A few times in my life I encountered a system where 1 is labled “Satisfactory” or something similar and 5 is “Perfect” or similar.
In those cases I either refuse to rate or rate a 1 no matter how it went.
I think the system should always be so that 1 is absolute dog shit, 3 is no complaints, 5 is exceptional
I hate that 5 is anywhere from “just okay” to “amazingly exceptional” and you just can’t know which it is
This is how it works in Japan. An average of 4 stars on Google Map (for food places, at least) is considered pretty good. There’s also another Japanese site dedicated for restaurants (Tabelog), where restaurants with more than 3.5 stars only make up 3%. Only 0.07% restaurants have more than 4 stars.
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.
Ok, 1. row for US, 2. row everywhere else, got it.
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.
