That's a very common and very nonsensical argument you hear all the time in hiring debates.
"They refused to hire the white dude with a Harvard degree, and instead just took a random black person without a high school diploma!".
Yeah, right. I'm SURE that's how that works.
It's the bigots' defense mechanism against the fact that once you get to the last stages of a selection process, you DON'T just have objective criteria to go by. If it WAS as easy as going "this one has score 5.1, that one has score 5.2, so we go with the higher one" we wouldn't have any problems. But that's just, well, NOT HOW ANYTHING WORKS. Without quotas, experience has shown that biases creep in. Until we can reduce those biases on a widespread, systemic levels, quotas are a necessary safeguard to combat biases. Does that mean that sometimes they're unfair to some people? Yes. But guess what's even more unfair - what we had before.
Dude. Some people seriously do not like this show. It is real. Get over it.
It is supposed to be an "aggregated" model used statistically along with other metrics.
Meaning 0 to 10 scale only becomes valuable when used in a larger sample set.
Obviously with all the large number of ratings below a 6, that must mean a lot of people don't like it.
This data is intended to give a general assessment of the overall reception of this show.
I don't get your point other than it is just OK to ignore the obvious.
There are plenty of things that get pretty low reviews all the time and there are plenty that get good reviews.
And I have found that in general the audience review averages tend to be good references.
Seems like you are getting ready to pretend that your opinion is the only reference that matters and that others can't have theirs.
Like come on dude, I don't have time to debate with you about parading your subjective opinion as objective fact again.

So according to you, the amazon policy is not forcing anyone to hire by race quotes or sexual identification?
Do you can read?
Skill based means that those race selected persons or those selected by sexual identity should meet skill requirements.
What the fuck are you talking about?
You try to convince people that amazon studios own race agenda is made up and they only hire by skill.
When it’s only skill based you dont need to mention or draw lines how many % should be black or gay
The % of race/disabilit/sexual identity is clearly stated by them
If any of these aspirational goals are not met, the external partner may be asked to submit a description of the steps that were taken to achieve these goals.
Do you understand? When a external partner as example didn’t fullfill race quotas they have to submit how they will make it happen

They hire by race/ethnic/sexual identity.
That doesn’t mean they pick randoms.
Those race selected still need to fullfill other criteria.
But that’s still race and wthnic and sexual identity hiring.
It’s explicitly states wich goals they have and explicitly stated in % wich races or groups they want to see
Doesnt mean random still needs other criteria.
That's not in question.
"I don't like it" is fine. That doesn't mean giving it a 0/10 rating on a website is justified, because that's not how these ratings systems are supposed to work. It's a misuse of the rating system - THAT is my problem, not the fact that some people don't like the show.
It's not about whether it's "valuable", it's about whether it's VIABLE as a rating at all.
You're right that the aggregation process relies on a statistical approximation - both for the overall ratings, and for how individuals compose ratings. Obviously people will differ in their chosen criteria, but the idea is to have the score be representative of many factors, not one single factor. If you do that, you're introducing distortion, and that's why 0/10 ratings are by and large useless and a misuse of the system.
Why 6?
a 1/10 review is completely dishonest especially on something like this series, there is nothing to back anyone up giving a 1/10 review on this series let alone most things, if you believe otherwise you are just lying to yourself, many ppl are not honest in thier reviews and reviews dont actually tell anything accurately.
Just because you dont like something doesnt mean it is worth a 1/10, reviews actually mean very little because you cant prove they are actually true or not.
This show is not disrespectful to tolkien in any way, nothing will ever be able to capture the spirit on the origional author to please a hardcore lore fan, companies can spend the money any way they want and employ hundreds or thousands of ppl so the money is not just wasted, things are getting more and more expensive these days.

These systems aren't designed to make people justify the reason as to why they gave the review they did.
It is a quick and simple guide to give people feedback that ultimately has value when used in aggregate.
If the system is not worthwhile then they should remove the whole thing all together because all reviews for everything are invalid.
Just focusing on this one show to worry about whether the review system is broken is just ridiculous.
At that point, you may as well say turning off comments is good too because people just don't have the right views on things.
It is the same mentality. Personal opinions aren't quizzes with a right or wrong answer.
If you know what aggregation means then you know why that 1 out 10 rating by itself has no value.
If a lot of people have a 1 out of 10 rating (meaning lowest rating possible) it means they really dislike something.
And because most of this data goes through statistical modeling and analytics, they are going to adjust anyway for internal purposes.
So I don't see your point. People picking the lowest or highest rating whatever it is is going to be one factor out of many.
And this data is collected from across multiple websites and platforms, some with ratings, others with like/dislike and other channels.
This is the day and age of big data and data is the value. Otherwise these web sites wouldn't exist.
As in meaning dislike.

Why 6? Because amazon(imdb) removed all written reviews lower than 6.
Fact.
Episode 2 has only 4 ! Approved written reviews so far
Again, I am not having this debate with you about your opinion. You can't force people to like something they don't like.
Nobody has to justify themselves to you or anybody else why they rated something the way they did. That is just a waste of time argument.
And I don't see the point.
Also there is no objective way, outside of things like emails, IP addresses or verified accounts to catch "bots".
Otherwise, you have to accept these are the honest reviews of real people and use percentage to filter noise at an aggregate level.
10/10 reviews by his own logic would have no value too and there's about 19k of them and they keep rising every minute. About 4k more 10/10 reviews than 1/10.
Some folks over here are pretending like the show is getting review bombed in a vacuum and conveniently disregarding the 33% of all reviews that give it a perfect score. (those are totally valid, deserved and logical, of course yes)
Literally deleting every written review below 6 overnight? Totally valid. Racist reviews are not allowed. They say.

"In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears. Things are not only what they are. They are, in very important respects, what they seem to be"
End of quote. Repeat the line.
That is true too. And there is no way to stop that in such review systems....
If it was a simple like/dislike at least all this nonsense about why a 0 out of 10 vs 10/10 would go out the window.
Either you like it or you don't. Period.
Having 1 to 10 or 1 to 5 gives a broader spread that can be more meaningful in aggregate.
But that still means the possibility of the worst or best rating either way.
I also think these social media "storms" go with the system and are an intended part of the analytics.
It means people are "paying attention" to something and making it a popular topic.....
Which means people arguing "for" something and people arguing "against" something.
At the end of the day most people will judge for themselves regardless.
Honestly these people at Amazon knew full well that this was going to be a risky proposition from the door.
They know it and this stuff is just them trying to defend their investment after the fact.
Again, this exercise in 'data and marketing' belies the fact that a good product will generally get good reviews.
And I don't see anything proving otherwise due to this one show.
