6 out of 10 is the new 2. People don't know how to rate things anymore. It makes everything difficult to gauge. The Chinese restaurant in town near me has a 4.7/5 on Google and it's the most disgusting food I've ever eaten, yet it has the same score as the actually good restaurants nearby.

MODERATORS
None of us are allowed to give lower than a 4 rating because of stupid contract based work apps and an algorithm that decides to not show low value options below 4 stars or allow for them anywhere.
It's bled into so many things but the ratings between 2 -> 7 might as well all mean the same thing.
And corporate acts like it, treating an honest 4/5 as if an employee called you a slur.
Any metric that becomes a goal ceases to be a useful metric.
This started in the early 2000's already and I remember discussing back then that the customers also treated a 5/10 as "okay" when scoring a place, but would never consider going to an "okay" place when looking for one so the businesses started to beg for higher scores and the threshold fot "okay" kept moving up.
Make something new for fucks sake!
Fuck that hairstyle
At least it’s not the broccoli crow.
It could’ve been so much worse!
I mean, I’ll eventually watch this because I’m a little piggy that loves their slop but at no point in the last 24 years have I thought to myself, “I need to see another goth revenge fantasy version of the previous four goth revenge fantasy movies.”
I’m sure the cinematography is on point and the actors did their job of being actors, the bare minimum. It’s just… where can you go with this franchise? First movie was good, the next three were the same story with a different color pallet.
Not sure who was excited about either a retread of the original or a fifth movie.
Shit… I talked myself into wanting to watch this. Did this get made for zoomers? Will this be a zoomer Rosetta Stone for us aging millenials?
