from what i've seen, that happened almost immediately upon it becoming mainstream because the amorphous mass can't be trusted with anything
I swear it's an attitude that trickles down. From the top "there's no reason any of our contractors should ever get less than five stars, if they get a low review then cut their hours." To "even the games worth looking at are dull, video games are so cooked."
Like this attitude where you only accept "exceptional" work because you feel like there's no reason to "settle" for anything else. Everything is ranked and anything that isn't something good enough to wrap your sense of self around gets devalued.
I wonder if it's cultural honestly (on the Japanese restaurant review site Tabelog for example, very few restaurants average more than 4 out of 5 stars and anything above 3.6 is probably already very good, and very often you see very glowing reviews that rate their experience a 4 out of 5 or lower)
