A 7/10 is basically a complete failure, so why didn’t reviewers take my feelings into account before publishing their scores?

    I blame the school grading system for it. 70% and below is already a failing grade in many courses. So by extension anything that gets rated 7 or below is asscoiated with failure.

    I am not from the US, so I don’t know how long this grading system has been in use there but here in Central Eruope that’s a rather new thing. That’s why a 5/10 didn’t feel as bad 20 years ago while today a 7/10 feels worse.

      60% and below is failing but below 70% is below average (which make no sense mathematically)
