Remember not being suspended for reporting on the news?
Remember the 5 star review system?
Remember video replies?
Remember friends?

The more popular something becomes, the worse it gets. Popularity breeds mediocrity. Maybe hipsters have a point. Maybe X thing was better before it was cool.


Video replies still exist. The 5 star system was better but broken.

You don't remember video replies if you think they still exist. Putting a video URL in a text response is nothing like that.

A video reply is somebody responding to a video with their own video.

The problem with 5-star is that people tended to mostly do 1s or 5s.

Yet, is there really any difference between like/dislike, and 5 star/1 star?

Both are presented as two extremes; you either like it or you don't. No middle ground.

No. There really is no difference.

I've rated vids 3 stars before, I think there should be a third "meh" option.

Which is why the thumbs up/down system is more effective overall. The other ratings hypothetically provide nuance, but are completely undermined by the prevalence of 1s and 5s which make the ratings a bit deceptive.

I think that would be a no rating. Compare the number of views to the number of ratings and you can see how many people apparently didn't care enough to rate.
