The system is set up to provide recommendations to members based on what
others with similar tastes liked. When I was a Netflix DVD subscriber
(2009-2014) I could not figure out how someone would find a reason to order
a movie and then give it one star. I mean, whatever brought you to choose
that movie: the genre, the stars, the director, whatever, would lead you to
believe that you would not hate the movie. With a thumbs up/thumbs down
system, at least a thumbs down means you expected to like the movie and
were disappointed, and that is meaningful information for another
subscriber with similar likes.
