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