    This is why approval voting is better than score voting, or rather, score voting quickly becomes approval voting anyways so might as well not overcomplicate matters 🙃

      yes but with approval rating the “best” movies are the ones which appeal at least enough to the most people.

        True, I was thinking about this some other time too. I think more granularity in votes doesn’t really solve that though, you need some way of weighting approvals. Like determining whose approval matters most.

          If the point of a rating is to be used as a predictor for how much you might enjoy a movie, then it might be worth switching to a three star system and weighing the star choices of other reviewers higher or lower based on how many previous movies you rated similiar to them.
