This shit should be fucking illegal. Same goes for the retards rating 90% things above 3.5 or the absolute madmen rating everything under 2 stars.

literally what's the problem?

>yfw i have more than 50 accounts to do exactly this

well, my rym account I only use to rate classics atm, so it looks similar to that.

>intentionally listening to shit music to keep your pyramid of taste intact

>intentionally listening to shit music
Nobody does this.

Understandable. This fucker however rated pop garbage like AC/DC and whatever the hell Sup Forums listens to nowadays.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH sure. tell that to all those people who rated every korn, limp bizkit, linkin park, brokencyde, etc. albums.

How's this senpai?

chill. those weird cases have no weight in the average ratings of releases.

If I don't like an album, I stop listening.

>implying you can't rate the things you used to listen to years ago
>implying people don't actually listen to those things and still enjoy them to a degree

Okay

Awful.

Care to explain why it causes you butthurt?

His opinion though. AC/DC isn't inherently good or bad.

same

Because the only logical curve is a bell curve. 5 star rating system has always meant 1 is shit, 3 is average and 5 is amazing. Hyperboles are bullshit and just lazy. Thinking every single thing you listen to is "amazing" and deserves +4 stars is ridiculous and just straight up delusional and wrong. On the other hand, thinking 2 stars means "amazing" and having 95% of your ratings below that is also plain delusion. You people would be shitty teachers if you were grading things 1-5.

Logic would tell you bell curves skewed upward make more sense, since the majority of people naturally seek out and rate things they enjoy more than things they don't.

sellmeagod has an amazing scoring system, peck you, buddy.

Not really.
Almost none of the music I listen to would I consider shitty, and I quite enjoy most of it.

I rarely listen to something if I don't think it's something I will like or appeals to me, so my ratings tend to be skewed upward.

I have very little interest in amassing negative ratings. I'm not gonna listen to more than 30 seconds of Judy Dunaway's fucking Balloon Music dogshit just so I can verify that it's absolutely a 0.5 record.

This website is for absolute permavirgins.

This might be right. I'm a little too optimistic in thinking people discover and search for new music daily.
No.

Sup Forums? You're right.

this
not that i don't think rating everything 5/5 isn't stupid or something

Everything is perfect huh buddy. Do you eat the same 10 foods your whole life and rate them all 5/5 too or what

Say that to my face fucker not online and see what happens.

>what is reading comprehension

reread my post "buddy"

Sure

thee

Come on

'n' all thee way

I will end you with my intellect as well as my well-concealed strength.

RYM should have only one rating, 2.5 stars

I don't listen to 2.0. music, thus I don't rate it either. We're not real music critics, who're paid to listen to shit they wouldn't listen to for fun, and who thus need to have a more balanced score distribution.

...

Basically this, when I first joined RYM I just put the worst albums I can think of in the bottom 3 ratings. Since then, that list hasn't grown bigger, because the way I source music is WAY better than when I was 13 or some shit.

His votes literally don't matter
RYM algorithm doesn't take into equation those accounts that mass rate everything as 5 or 0

HOW DO YOU DISCOVER SOMETHING SUCKS BEFORE LISTENING TO IT?

ITT:

retards who believe rating music is important.

just listen to what you like and let other people decide if something is cool or not

Why the fuck would you even care
This is one of the most useless things you could complain about

Seriously, you should post their names to public-shame them, they're ruining the rep and mission of RYM
>:((
