I’m on the fence with the thumbs vs stars. On one hand, a boolean is probably better than an integer for a number of reasons. Another thing to consider is that the five star system can be gamed by only giving 0 or 5 depending on if you believe the content deserves a higher or lower average, meaning people who figure that out have more voting power… which is… better?

Doesn’t this apply only if you are looking at mean average exclusively? There are loads of other metrics you can look at based on scalar ratings.
