When were customer ratings ever meaningful? On another note, it doesn't help that like 90% of apps straight up ask their users to give them 5 stars on whatever store they're on.

Review systems should just replace stars with upvotes. Much more honest.

Steam got this right a long time ago. Did you like the game or not? That's all there is to it. Youtube also figured that out early on too.
