Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•How IMDB Users Rate Season 4 of SNWEnglish
2·24 hours agoHonestly the entire notion of caring about “ratings” at all is stupid unless you are trying to sell ads. Reviews are great and reviewing art is an art form of it’s own. But taking a bunch of reviews and smoothing them together and averaging them out in order to pretend you’ve reached some sort of objective truth about how “good” a piece of media is is a stupid thing to care about and will only bring you sorrow and a more shallow life.

This was my favorite fun fact to point out during the NFT hype. Even skeptics would derisively say “you’re buying a jpeg” and I would always say “Ackhually, not even that!”
It’s like if Wikipedia put the expectation of fact checking onto the end user.
Any “platform” that puts 100% of the responsibility to block spam and annoying users onto the individuals is simply miserable. They want a space where they can force their worldview onto everyone.
