There used to be a Facebook app called Compare People, which was similar, but a lot more expansive when asking people to make comparisons. Who is kinder? Who has the prettiest eyes? That sort of thing. I remember being concerned enough about that (my eyes ARE the prettiest, goddammit!) but at least there, you’d lose on some stuff but win on others.
This just seems a tad reductive. Judge an entire person from 1 to 5.
I dunno if I even need that many options. I would’ve been ok voting ppl thumb up or thumbdown. I.e. when HOT OR NOT was a thing, I only ever used to rate ppl as 1 or 10. There is no inbetween with us, ur either hot, or ur not. Except i.e. if someone was really bad then I would give them a sympathy 10.
In anycase it is not so much the rating that is good bout this, it is doing the reviews like on Amazon. I can deffo see this causing aggro when i start writing reviews on ppl critiquing their method of eating asparagus* or whatever.
Yep, the creators of an app where people write about/rate other people without their input are upset someone wrote about their (shitty) app without their input.
Sorry for the link. I still can’t post pictures here.
Thanks for the laugh, that’s a stunning misjudgement on their part. I’m left with no choice but to conclude that this is their first time venturing online.
So essentially, you can only be positive by the sounds of it. How is that helpful or useful? As this article says, “Cordray started with a bad idea, and has now morphed it into something that fails to solve any real problems. Her attempt to salvage Peeple is an exercise in futility.”
As an aside, I do believe it is (or, by the looks of it now, was) a genuine app but here’s an interesting piece from yesterday investigating its existence: http://www.newsweek.com/was-peeple-just-joke-379706
