Yes my thoughts too. I remember YouTube changing from a 5 star rating system to a like or dislike system because users either loved something enough to give it 5 stars or hated something enough to give it 1. It’s unusual for users to bother with a luke warm 3 star rating. Even now on medium with the change I find myself “clapping” and then thinking… “is that rude? Does one clap mean ‘meh’? And then I subsequently hold down the button and give 50.
