Understanding Yougle Ratings

At Yougle, we believe in clear signals, not vague numbers. A simple 5-star scale asks you to be a critic; our system asks you how you feel. Here is how to use our 4-Point Preference System to curate your perfect profile.

Why Thumbs Instead of Stars?

  • Action Over Analysis: You don't need to decide if a movie is a "3.5" or a "4." You just need to decide if you want to see more of it.
  • Weighted Nuance: We keep it simple (Like/Dislike) but give you the power to amplify that signal when you find something truly special (or truly terrible).

Double Thumbs Up: "Loved it"Loved it
❤️

"An Absolute Masterpiece."

Reserve this for the content that defines you. These are the movies you’d take to a desert island or the shows you binge-watch in a single weekend.

What it does: Tells our algorithm, "Prioritize this above everything else."

Examples

The Godfather, Inception, or that one series you re-watch every year.

Thumbs Up: "Liked it"Liked it
🍿

"A Solid Watch."

You enjoyed it. It was worth your time. You might recommend it to a friend, even if you wouldn't buy the poster.

What it does: Helps us find more content in this genre for you.

Examples

Most Marvel movies, a solid Tuesday night comedy, a decent documentary.

Thumbs Down: "Disliked it"Disliked it
🥱

"Not For Me."

Maybe it wasn't "bad," but it wasn't for you. It dragged on, the jokes fell flat, or the vibe was off.

What it does: Tells us, "Let's try something different next time."

Examples

A boring sequel, a comedy that tries too hard.

Double Thumbs Down: "Hated it"Hated it
🤬

"Avoid at All Costs."

You want those two hours of your life back. This is for the broken, the offensive, or the painfully boring.

What it does: We will actively scrub similar content from your feed.

Examples

That remake that ruined the original, or a genre you simply cannot stand.
