I’m so tired of content made to be consumed. The entire world is monetizing my attention. Putting your eyes on anything is giving into the corpos. Art should make you feel human not “satisfied”.
Comment on Perfect Rating ⭐/5

Still weird to me that 3/5 is accepted as bad. It’s middle of the score; it’s average. I have plenty of 3 star movies I watched and I like it just fine.
But yes mostly nowadays I just watch with the right cat’s eyes lol

Kinda mid bruh ngl roughly translates to “waste of my precious life”.
Its either 10/10 perfection or fuck off.

Yeah that’s fair actually. Idk why I’m still hung up on that scoring but what you’re saying is what I’m doing lol
I haven’t watched many shows or movies for the past decade willy nilly because of that.

Let’s assume 3/5 corresponds to a 50% rating and that this percentage represents the ratio of good, so 50% of the film (not necessarily duration) is good, the other 50% is bad. People generally want a film where the good parts outweigh the bad parts. For a film to be really enjoyable it needs to be way above 50%. Mathematically speaking this means current rating systems have an exponential behaviour. For practical purposes it would be better to have logarithmic rating systems as that would compress bad ratings to a few low numbers and give more nuance to good ratings.

I kinda mentally adjust it. If I see 7/10 I assume it’s very average. 8/10 is good, 9/10 and above is great.
6/10 is bad and anything worse is awful.

That’s the way to go. it’s just a silly little nitpick that I have. I don’t go out of my way to make it a big deal lol
