Uber essentially insisting you give everyone 5 stars just makes the railings meaningless. It’s much better for customers to defect from that game.

It’s the same issue with tipping. The larger the standard tip the more power you give to people that defect and tip nothing. Essentially, high tips simply subsidize freeloaders, it’s much better for society to avoid restaurants or services that use tips.
