Is the star rating redundant?

Every video I make ends up averaging around 3.14 stars... funny.

I don't freaken get it Gene's Last Breath my second video which has one of my lowest ratings has a 3.16 star avg. And then on top of that my 6th, 11th, 12th, and 13th vids have a lower rating + the 11-13 are under 3.00
I can understand #12 being like that but not the 11th and 13th. #6 vid has 3.15 so it is close. What I am trying to get to is the star average scale is not accurate. I wouldn't follow by it. And the only thing I do follow by are the ops. And even then after each op I go back into the video and try to see what that person is talking about. If they have a point I make a note of it. But if intended to be like that I'll let them know and so on and so forth.

I seem to have an inverse relationship, not that my 7 videos are all that great a sample. I'm only considering ops I didn't ask for here. My most oped video is my lowest star ranked (2.62). In a tie for least oped videos is my highest star ranked video (3.96). (A difference of 1.34 between low and high if you care to keep count)

On with other interesting trends, hits is inverse with download rate for me. The videos I consider 'average' seem to run about 1 in 3 hits actually downloads the thing. The couple of videos I've done that would only be appealing to certain tastes come pretty close to 1 in 2 hits downloads it but it has half or less total hits.

Ratings and experience have little to do with each other. My fourth video is the lowest rated one, my fifth is the highest, #1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 fall between those and rank close enough that there's little statistical difference amoung them (~3.45).

The one thing I just don't understand, my lowest ranked video (both star and op) is the one that has been hit the most and downloaded the most. I'm guessing there was someone telling his friends "This shit sucks so badly I want you to download it and taunt it with me!"

Code: Select all

{flames, annoyed local downloaders, 1/worthlessness}

{3,56,3.36}
{17,151,3.61}
{1,159,3.80}

No correlation here.

Usually the number of hits and downloads is linked to the anime and music rather than to appreciation, since people don't know yet how much they will like the vid.

My vid with the most hits (and the second one for downloads) is one with 17 animes.
My vid with the least hits is the one on Aquarian Age, which is a quite unknown and unsuccessful anime.
My vid with the least downloads is... ANTHEM!?

Uh, *that* hurts, even if it's the latest.
