Netflix currently allows desktop users/subscribers to write and read reviews of TV shows and movies, but the streaming giant will be removing that feature in the coming months, as it “has seen declining usage over time.” This follows the company’s decision to switch from 5-star ratings to a more simplified thumbs-up, thumbs-down system.
The streaming service began notifying members who’ve used the feature recently that they will no longer be able to write reviews by the end of July. Come August, the reviews will disappear altogether. It’s not like there’s a dearth of reviews for Netflix’s shows online or through traditional media outlets. Still, the decision produced a modest backlash on social media among armchair critics.
