Not that I'm complaining - ok, I am complaining - if you're going to do a drive by rating, please justify it with a comment why it wasnt Very Helpful. Take THIS for example. Seems fine to me, and it's everything that THIS ONE is - but one isnt as good?

I'm going to obsess on this for a while now. I feel inadequate now.

...
Maybe readers/raters liked the 'tier' content that you inserted in the first one. Maybe they liked the increased number of reviews in the higher-rated one. Maybe they liked the seemingly 'more complete' discussion of the films in the first one. (That said without counting words, just an overall impression.) Maybe the higher-rated one just felt more . . .'helpful' than the lower-rated one.


It is a slippery slope to begin comparing reviews against each other, your own or those of others. Each one really is rated by itself. Well, unless one is making a point of vertically reading-rating a particular set of product reviews.


Just some thoughts.
