Used to be 5 stars - now it's a "thumbs up" style. Do you feel that's because no one watches the 1 star movies?
I think Netflix knows that people tend to go 5 stars or 1 star, like or dislike (just look at the Amazon product ratings or IMDB movie ratings, all or nothing). So perhaps that doesn't give viewers the true picture of how others actually felt about it. But there's no quick fix for it, so they use thumbs up or thumbs down. I think Netflix should have high level reviewers who rate the movies. That way you get the same general crowd and their response can be more trustworthy than just "everyone hates today's Steven Seagal", which they do.
I get it that many here just rob movies from whatever box you're using so "lol Netflix" but it does exist and so there it is.
The new system isn't working.
I read they changed it because Amy Schumer's ty stand up commedy special got roasted.

Now movies I actually like and think are solid have a 50% which is bull . If I were to go by it, I'd never watch a movie as almost all of the good ones have a 50-60% and ty ones are in the mid 80s to 90s so I'm just not even going by it anymore.
Schindler's List had like one star.Though that may have been before the change.
Netflix, IMDB, and other rating systems where it's based on random voting is always going to be worthless. If anything, an extremely low rating gets me curious enough to watch sometimes.
You think they changed this specifically because of one stand-up special, and you read this on Breitbart?
Probably not the reason, no.
And no, I just grabbed the first link that popped up when I searched for it. I read it somewhere else. Cant remember exactly where.
That Breitbart article is symbolic of how far people have their heads up their ass with politics nowadays. Everyone gets super into this left/right paradigm of looking at things and then uses that to explain every single thing.
Exodus' rating system is much better
I prefer the 5 star system IF and only if the ratings are from trusted users who aren't shills or random idiots. Like Rotten Tomatoes, I don't always agree with their ratings but at least you know how they think.
I found the Netflix rating system to be pretty accurate, at least to my tastes. I hate this new ing one and the recommendations they send me are ing ponderous. As if being fat, ugly, unfunny and looking more like a potato than a "thick skank" per her schtick was enough to hate that miserable Schumer khunt... Wouldn't mind one bit if 2017 pulls a 2016 on her.
So, it's just a big ing coincidence that a uber lib company changed it in the wake of their politics getting slapped? Pull your own damn head out of your ass.
Yes, they had been planning for months before hand. You sound kind of re ed with your right wing conspiracies behind every coincidence or occurrence that happens
Wait, people are seriously saying Netflix changing its rating system was a liberal conspiracy?
Cant wait to hear about how George Soros was behind this one tbh.
The article I read was people like the simple yes/no option or that works best. It's like how Tinder just has the swipe left/right and how Okcupid just basically ripped that off now and got rid of almost all their other stuff including their five star ratings when you go there now basically the home page is pics with a thumbs up down. But what do I know I've been inflicted with severe lib ation so my judgements are obviously tainted and worthless
It was an easy switch weeks after they got slapped. The company changed it a tier system because they're the same butthurt lib s that you represent.
The system is dog , wipe. This is what happens when butthurt morons such as yourself make decisions based on petty politics. Netflix says Pirates Of The Carribean is a 96 percent match for me. Yea, a three hour Disney movie is what I ing want to watch? They might have already had a beta system in the works. Companies are always toying with ideas. This lame came out right after they were slapped. And like the true lib heads they are, they won't be changing it back to what the people want. They undoubtedly have the cancerous too big to fail mindset.
Those two posts directly up above are symbolic of how far people have their heads up their ass with politics nowadays. Everyone gets super into this left/right paradigm of looking at things and then uses that to explain every single thing.
You're really this angry over Netflix changing its rating system
I Did read that if you thumb down a movie that that movie would dissapear from your netflix forever. I thought that was bull so I tried to thumb down some re ed movie that was on my watched list forever and the next time I launched Netflix it wasn't there.
I guess it got that going for it.
Goddamn, you're dumb.
I probably am; but this guy Quadzilla99 is partisan hack dumb all the same.
A wee bit miffed at most. Just dealing with a is all.You're really this angry over Netflix changing its rating system
I don't get the star system. Started watching a series called, Happy Valley. A BBC show that won some awards recently and beat out the Netflix series in Britain. When I started the show two days ago, it had 4 stars. Yesterday, it was down to 2.
Great show by the way.
calm down, rush.
Yeah, I'm the one who's coming off like a political nutjob here
