I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on this Laura. I also have a star rating system on my GRs profile but never really look at other people’s profiles! 😂
What a fascinating conversation! 😯 What you mentioned about a star rating being a header to a review was particularly interesting. I feel like people will go to the star rating first (like a header, as you say), not realizing that it's technically a conclusion to the review. "This book has x, y, and z. 4 stars!" I think that's why the Tier system have become so popularized, especially on UA-cam. Giving a tier, especially a custom one, peaks folks' interest and invites further explanation on why it received that rank. It's like, "This book is S-Tier and here's why!" This is such Meta discourse. I 🖤 it. 😆
@@aquamarine18 There's a whole bunch of UA-camrs who make tier lists based off any topic you can think of, ranking specific types of food to films within a certain genre. It, kind of, replaced top 10 videos in popularity. It's based off the Japanese ranking system, which goes S-tier for best, then, A, B, C, D, and E for worst. Tiers can also be custom-made with the Tier Maker website--the main site that everyone uses in their videos. I've used it in my day job as a fun icebreaker during spooky season, where we've ranked candy bars. 🥴🍫

💜 I thought I'd be all into the Storygraph system with .25, .5, and .75 star options but honestly... I still give most things a 4 on there too!

Ooh! 💜 What is this tier thing, I must find out! I am going to see what I can learn about this.
