        Not so much. It’s more like “Is there enough Nettlix users that likes Amy Schumer so that we can finance her next special”.

        Corpos only care about what you like so that they can maximize their profit.

      Hate it. Gave my employer a bad review, 1-2 stars in most categories, and the average was still a 3.7?? I have to adjust my intuition when reading star reviews. Apparently 3.5 is bottom of the barrel.

        The good news is: that reviews wasn’t really accurate.

        The bad news is: that review wasn’t really anonymous.

          My last day is Friday. :)

          I’ve tried my best during the last seven years to make a change, both by lobbying upper management and introducing change in my team. Nothing stuck, nobody besides my team mates cared. So I hope it’s not really anonymous. I’m clinging to the illusion they’ll somehow take it to heart now that it’s public, for the betterment of the team mates I leave behind.

        I don’t understand, are you inferring the reviews do not accurately represent the results?

          I don’t think 3.7 stars accurately describes my experience in that company, yes. But that means that the meaning I gave to what 3.7 stars feels like is not what the company feels like, mostly because my ‘lowest’ would be 0 stars. In my world, 2.5 stars is 50% - but crucially it’s not, 3 stars is 50%. That’s why I have to recalibrate my feelings of the star system.

    Funny enough the dislike button is there but hidden. You can get extensions that show the thumbs down button and how many clicked it.

          In my experience, the extension is INCREDIBLY good. Whenever I get a shady video, it has dislikes, and normal videos almost never have any significant amount of dislikes. They’re as accurate as they can be but it’s more than enough to be useful.

    All I want to say is:

    I rarely like any video so much that I want to give it a solid 👍

    Its also pretty rare for 👎

    But I’ll rate stuff on a scale of ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ every day of the week.

    Also, hiding 👎 is completely brain-dead stupid.

    My favorite is Amazon streaming that has a “rating for your taste out of 5 stars”, but they don’t want it to point out that most of their catalog is shit, so everything from Shawshank Redemption to Movie 43 are “4.5 stars for you”

    Corporation does well: brags about all the statistics Corporation does poorly: hides all the statistics and asks customers to trust it that it’s doing well

    Classic corporate transparency. When a filthy corpo says they’re dedicated to something, they’re usually dedicated to the opposite.

    Anyone else notice that thumbs down is back, there just isn’t a counter. I’ve seen it for a few weeks now.

      I thought it never left? They just didn’t show the number of dislikes to anyone other than the channel who made the video (without plugins, revanced etc).

      Unfortunately, a lot of content is still exclusive to YouTube. Every now and then I try to look for the things I watch on Nebula or Odysee, but they’re just not there. Only a handful of channels that mirror their content + some specials on Nebula.

      We can always politely ask our favourite content creators to upload their stuff on other platforms, but the success rate is disappointing.

      I do not know why to use Netflix in the first place if you can simply visit free streaming platforms like HDREZKA, watch a few ads and then enjoy your film. Yeah, ads can be annoying sometimes but, at least, all is free, content doesn’t get removed simply because of it is no longer watched actively and no forced registration. And they also provide some useful features like the personal lists, collections, different sound records, history of publication for series and even the approximate schedule for the upcoming series which is really useful.
