snake1989 04/18/17 9:45:47 PM #4:	I remember reading a week or so back that something like 70% of the Netflix userbase disliked the change. I wonder if they'll revert to the old system or have them both there alongside each other, it seems too unpopular for them to not modify it in some way. --- "A man chooses.

Lightsasori 04/18/17 10:21:27 PM #14:	It's a proven fact that people are less likely to rate a movie/tv show with the star system vs. a system with a thumbs up and down.

Sojy 04/20/17 10:21:31 AM #24:	Netflix's ratings change is basically the worst website change I've seen in my over a decade of using the internet. There's no quality control and the matching barely makes sense. We don't even get to see the thumbs up/thumbs down ration for fuck's sakes. It's terrible and ruins any ability to find quality shows. Really wish there was an archive of Netflix stars somewhere. Five star stuff never disappointed me. IMDb/RT just aren't the same, in a lot of cases they're too harsh. Annihilated posted...

You can have a show rated as five stars on your account but thumbs downed at the same time, or one star and thumbs upped at the same time.
