I always find this metric bizarre when companies ask about it. Everything is in either a category of things I’m not going to bother talking about, or I’ve already recommended it to people who might care, or I’ve already anti-recommended it to those people. Those are 0, 10, 0 I guess. I’m never like “well I haven’t mentioned it yet but there’s a 60% chance I’ll recommend it at some point”

From when I worked at a company that used it I seem to recall it was actually just used as binary too. 8+ is good and everything else is bad or something like that. So it’s weird that they collect it with such fake precision.

I did not realise they meant it literally.

Would I recommend a product to others? Yes. Does it ever come up in conversation? No. Do I go around telling random people about this product? No.
