Yes, but do the ratings where you just rate it get counted into the total ratings? I still find the ratings at Amazon helpful. I find the ratings at Netflix helpful, although they do this weird thing where they are like "Customers like you rated this a __, and total ratings are a __." (Mine are always "Customers like you rated this a 5, but most people gave it a negative 10, you retard.")

I do think it would be much more helpful to have a set of comments . . . But again, that's just me talking from my experience of Amazon.
