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