Yeah, the feedback system seems to be a cool idea. In case of Uber though, keep in mind that the driver will get fired if their average rating drops to ~4.6 stars. That 3 you left there? Probably had a really big impact on him.

Yeah it's kind of crazy how people expect to see 4.5+ star ratings on everything but then also often use 3 stars to mean average, like the people who leave 3 star reviews for apps that say "looks interesting, I'll check it out later."
