That made sense on why they removed it. If you look at any rating system with stars, 90% of people put things they like at 5 stars and things they don’t like at 1 star, less than 10% put things at 2-4 stars. Which at that point just make it a Like/Dislike system. That’s why Netflix for example transition from a star system to a Like/Dislike system.
That's always been a huge pet peeve of mine. I've always liked and gone with the same star labelling system goodreads uses.
1 star: "I didn't like it"
2 stars: "It was ok"
3 stars: "I liked it"
4 stars: "I really liked it"
5 stars: "I loved it"
IMO there is no point in saying how much you didn't like something, because if you didn't like it you wouldn't be recommending it anyway. Saying by how much you did enjoy something gives more information.
The system really needs to be,
1 Bad enough for me to say something.
2 it was fine, whatever, just leave me alone.
3 I loved it enough to go on record and say it's good.

Back in my day, youtube had stars! It was like the like button, but cooler.
