I think my personal rating system goes something like this:
5: Loved it, will rave about it to everyone
4: Like it!
3: It was okay
2: Actively disliked it
1: This is truly hot garbage, will rant about it to everyone
My system tends to default at a 4 if I am happy but not blown away by it. 5's are rare, 3's are a bit meh. So yeah, it's a little skewed positive. This is just for books, movies, craft patterns, mass produced items. If it's a little Etsy business or something my rating system skews heavily positive because I don't want to tank their ratings if they met expectations.
