Polarizing the ratings seems like a nice way to quickly make them go their own way, indeed. With our algorithm, rating 'not popular' movies works just as well actually; but maybe we should also show movies people shoulDN'T like? I had given thoughts about it, but the layout is already kind of 'full', so it's not very easy. We'll definitely look into it though; thanks a lot.

No, we don't currently take into consideration movies that have been muted or added to the deegList, but just like the polarization, we've already given thoughts about it (especially for this) and will probably take it into account in the next algorithm update. Thanks again ;)

Note the second and third cases under "middle ranking". That seems like a category of films you should present to help add more nuance to a user's ratings and circle.
