Everyone who rates on a scale from 7 to 10 right now would instead do 3 to 4 on yours. And then there are the people who say that you shouldn't have scores at all, instead forcing people to read through the review. This is really funny; the reason people don't read reviews right now is because they find reading unpleasant and just want a straight answer. I really, really don't see the point of trying to force people to read things when they just don't want to. |
But a lot of 70s might become 67s, a lot of 80s might become 75s, and a lot of 90s might become 87s.
I think it DOES have something to do with the scale. Yes, reviewers misuse the 10-point scale, but that scale allows them to do so. It might sound counter-intuitive, but by limiting the possible scores you might actually effect a more accurate rating.
