I find it ridiculous that a 5 star rating is expected for an OK (average) ride. 5-stars should be reserved for exceptional rides.

I agree from a 'correct' sense. It would be interesting to see a graph of what people rate.

Personally I give a 5 star as default unless they are sub-service given I know they face being cut if below ~4.5. So for me it almost works as a negative only scale with no positive points for exceptional service.

I think this was the reason YouTube dropped the 5-star rating, people just put 5 or 1. So now they have only like/dislike.
