Continuing the discussion from
New Trakt default web experience:
The announcement post claims that ratings remain the same whilst in user experience the ratings system has been foundationally changed. In the classic Trakt experience, we had a 10-point scale to rate items with, which allowed some nuance and had descriptions for points. The replacement of it with a 5-star scale is a bad decision. It doesn’t even allow for half stars. And making the scale smaller and visually into a star, it has shifted the bias from what a user might feel about a number with its description to what a user will now feel how many stars look appropriate. If a movie you felt was just middling, do you give it two stars or 3 stars, 2 stars don’t look good though…
I cannot believe downgrading a rating system that tried to eliminate the inherent higher number/higher stars bias that has downgraded to a visual star rating system, whilst eliminating the half steps was designed, built, and approved upon. Please return to the sensible option as it was prior.
