Shouldn't this quality rating be within a genre? Not all documentaries are 5-star, and not all silly movies are 3-stars.

How do you compare ice-cream with cheesecake?

Yeah, if they went with up/downs but allowed genre up/downs I think this would correct some anxiety about this change. "Yes, I still want to watch anime. No, the last 4 shows you recommended to me were not good."
