  1. 29-Drive-by ratings only affect my fiction and therefore it's an unequal contest
  2. 16-Ratings affect visibility on all lists
  3. 11-You can give ideal personalised suggestions
  4. 4-okay, but once it's implemented, it'd be a fool-proof way to prevent drive-by ratings. Users would absolutely not do their best to bypass it
  5. 24-okay, but authors would never abuse it to create an unequal situation by using varying levels of aggressive tactics to coerce feedback
  6. 30-Using median instead of mean in a system with a bias factor of 20x makes perfect sense
  7. 13-Having a low average rating means readers dismiss my novel then they go do something else other than reading
  8. 12-It is a bad thing that higher ranked fictions get more views
  9. 25-Everyone having less negative ratings would improve everyone's rankings"
  10. 3-okay, but it'd be trivial to weigh ratings based on at least the first 10 chapter reads
  11. 2-The number of chapters read is linearly proportional with how well-formed a readers opinion is
  12. 28-Removing some top percentile of ratings totally makes sense"
  13. 6-The rating system behaves differently from a binary rating system mathematically
  14. 27-What do you mean readers would just raise the bar? That's absolutely not how it works, that's why users draw the line at the neutral unbiased mean of 2.75 stars
  15. 20-okay, but there is only bias when talking about ratings less than 3 stars
  16. 8-Removing ratings completely is beneficial to authors
  17. 22-You can evaluate subjective quality/suitability based only on positive feedback
  18. 26-okay, but having less negative ratings would make it so users give more stories a chance
  19. 9-Removing ratings completely is beneficial to readers
  20. 1-Ratings under 4 stars mean death because that's what the users decided to draw the line at
  21. 14-Giving readers reading suggestions irrespective of other readers opinions does not result in a worse experience
  22. 10-You can give ideal personalised suggestions without ratings
  23. 5-Reminding readers to rate or review would lead to an objectively better rating system
  24. 19-There is only bias when talking about 0.5 star ratings
  25. 18-A 0.5 star rating is never justifiable
  26. 17-Okay, but RR doesn't actually try to provide lists not based on ratings
  27. 15-It's RR's fault that getting traction as a new author is hard
  28. 21-Negative feedback is inherently bad
  29. 23-okay, but you can objectively evaluate it based on the percentage of readers willing to give positive feedback
  30. 7-We need more five star ratings
