They removed how many ratings the product has received. So a 4.5 star rating from 100,000 people means that a good few people had issues or didn't like it
A 4.5 star rating from 3 people makes you suspicious of the seller
So 4.5 is bad in both of those scenarios? So how is the number of people having rated matter?
Personally I always look further than the AVG number anyway. As other commenters have said none of this means anything if you don't check negative reviews for reoccurring issues.
5.0 ⭐️ (100% 5 stars)
Could be:
5 ⭐️ (1 review)
Or
5 ⭐️ (12,345 reviews)
Knowing the volume provides extra insights. If nothing else, at least when glancing at the list of search results, knowing the volume can allow a slightly faster zero in on the items to dig deeper.
I agree, just the comment before read as 'i don't trust 5 stars whether it's a lot of votes or very few votes' - so I wasn't sure why it mattered how many votes it had based on the comment.
losing the view-at-a-glance quantity of reviews was really annoying when i had to shop for some things last week.
ended up chasing me to newegg for the first time in forever. was done in 5 minutes (including running to a different pc and booting it up, to complete an unexpected 2fa), and no iffy marketplace sellers getting in the way. got exactly what i was looking for from who i wanted to buy from (the site, not a third party). a split shipment all delivered in 2 days to the boonies, cheaper and faster than amazon.
the difference in experience sent me back to newegg--this time as the first choice, for a little part order i would have normally got from whatever highly-reviewed amazon marketplace seller was cheapest.
