Why ranking works better than star ratings

Rate two films five stars and they are tied, even though you loved one more. Do that for a few years and a five star rating tells you almost nothing. Half your favourites share it.

Picking between two is easier

Asked "how many stars?", most people hesitate. Asked "which did you like more?", most people just know. Vibra only ever asks the second question. Every answer moves one thing up or down, and the list is the result.

It works across kinds of things

Stars on a film and stars on an album are measured against different things. A ranking puts them side by side, so your list can say an album beat a film, and mean it.

It makes friends easier to compare

Two people's stars are hard to compare because everyone uses them differently. Two rankings are not. Vibra gives you a match percentage with anyone, once you have both ranked enough of the same things, and shows where you disagree most.
