About The Rating Generation: Why Everything Has to Be Scored | ENDEVR Documentary
The Five-Star Society: How Ratings Took Over Our Lives | ENDEVR Documentary After exiting a cab, a restaurant, a hotel, or a train, or following the delivery of a package or an exchange with a customer service representative, it’s always the same request: please provide a rating. Whether it's a 1 to 10 scale ask or the ubiquitous 1 to 5 - star review, it’s quick, machine-like, and painless for the person providing the rating. Behind these seemingly benign requests, lurks a biased labor monitoring system fueled directly by the customer, unbeknownst to us. Added to this is a multitude of invisible ratings which serve as raw material for algorithms used by secretive companies that claim to be able to predict the future. The film takes a critical look at the “democratization” of rating systems and the consequences of this practice in our personal lives and for our collective freedoms. This documentary first aired in 2022. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ENDEVR explains the world we live in through high-class documentaries, special investigations, explainer videos, and animations.
