Netflix is looking for a thumbs-up as star ratings fade away
Switch makes
it easier on
subscribers
By MICHAEL LIEDTKE
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Net-
flix’s video-streaming service
is officially scrapping its famil-
iar star-rating system, hoping to
make it easier for its 94 million
subscribers to signal whether
they liked a movie or TV show.
The service is compress-

system into a simpler choice of
thumbs-up or thumbs-down.
The change, first discussed by
a Netflix official last month and
officially unveiled on Wednes-
day, is aimed at soliciting more
viewer feedback and helping
the service make better pro-
gram recommendations.
Netflix believes its star sys-
tem has been confusing to
many people. The five stars
allowed subscribers to tell
Netflix whether they “hated,”
“didn’t like,” “liked,” “really
liked” or “loved” a particular
video.
That was straightforward

found that too many subscribers
thought the star ratings Netflix
posted for videos they hadn’t
rated reflected the average of
all user responses. In actuality,
those ratings were personal-
ized predictions based on Net-
flix analysis of a user’s viewing
history and past ratings.
Instead, Netflix will now
display a percentage designed
to predict how much each sub-
scriber will enjoy a given show

driven by Netflix’s dissatisfaction with the amount of viewer
feedback its computers have been getting to help customize
recommendations about what else to watch on the service.

subscribers become bored and

Although change invariably
irks some people, Netflix thinks
relatively few of its subscribers
will give the streaming service
a thumbs-down for abandoning
the star system. That’s because
the all-thumbs format gener-
ated three times more viewer
ratings than the star system
during tests conducted with
millions of subscribers over the
past year, according to Cam-
eron Johnson, Netflix’s director
of product innovation.
“It’s easy to see why,” John-
son said. “They perceive it as a
way to get better suggestions
on Netflix, which is something
they care about because it helps
them find something great to
watch really quickly.”
Recommending videos is
important to Netflix because
it wants to limit the odds that
