People got very mad at this, but it seems preferable. Movies/TV shows that you "like a lot" versus movies that you "just like" are both movies that you'd watch, and watching is what you're buying.

That would only work as long as they're not figuring null ratings into the score, which would still decrease the host's average.
I'm not sure how it works for either company - is it (transactions/rating score) or (ratings/rating score)? Downthread, we learn that Lyft gives null ratings an automatic 5.

Not getting enough ratings also causes punishment.
I don't even rate AirBNB hosts (for instance) because I know that a good enough host will be punished. I only rate the top and the bottom because those are the only two ratings that have meaning any more.
