yeah, i'm not saying rating scales should replace actual content but the 10 scale is universally awful.
Then again, thanks to the 5 scale, on netflix I can easily put Josie and the Pussycats on par with Lord of the Rings because I "loved" it, which is a four rating. It's not like I'm saying I enjoy them nearly the same, but when someone sees that hey! I rated Josie and the Pussycats and Lord of the Rings the same score that means I think they're the same quality or some shit when it's not the case.
