It's so dumb. Just let people rate it with the five stars. They're so gun-ho with the algorithm let it do its job.
They don't want you knowing what other people think of the video. It's just about what you think of the video. Much easier to have an algorithmically perfect echo chamber if everyone is privately rating things and has no idea what others think about them.
Wouldn't the simplest solution be to only expose the other ratings after you rate?
But then how do you stop people clicking to see first, locking them in? But then how do you deal with missclicks?
