Honestly, all review aggregates are kind of trash. It's crazy that we have stuck with either binary or 5 star ratings this whole time across the internet.

I had a product idea I have yet to make where you replace ratings with rankings. Instead of giving something a 1-5 review, you just answer a few quick questions whether something is better or worse than a listed alternative. You aggregate enough rankings and you can give everything a percentile score. The number is actually meaningful - a 70% means people on average think that it's 70% better than all ranked alternatives.

And you can't lie or influence a ranking as easily. "You think Rings of Power is a good show? Okay, but are you are actually going to rank it above The Sopranos?"

I like that idea quite a bit. I wonder if there's an algorithm that doesn't get completely screwed up by circles... since it is subjective, A > B > C > A is a valid input and shouldn't cause a complete algorithmic failure.

That is a solved problem. Elo ratings in chess and other games have to deal with such situations by design.
