I give this rant 5 stars.
I give your comment only 3.5 stars because you didn’t use any big words, like “tremendous”.

I rate your comment 5/7. There's no nudity.
I rate your comment only 2 stars because I can't fap to it.
New Message I rate you 2/5
There's a Black Mirror episode about this..
kingman2332 that episode is my worst nightmare
this is actually how the chinese system work. If you don't "behave" to a certain standard - which might be adjusted to the needs of the party - you can lose your right to travel, to apply for housing/credit/schools,...
That might work for some time. But even the most collectivist society will be sick of it at some point i hope.
One of my favorite.
Even the Orville had an episode about that
nosedive
George Carlin would also have a lot to say about this ratings nonsense.
Especially this sensitive age where anybody's offended by every fucking thing.. 😒
He'd have a lot of shit to say in general
I miss George Carlin every day. What would he say now about malls and stores closing, now everyone orders online. Now we don't even leave our homes and walk around.
I started to watch Maher's videos after watching his interview to Carlin. There's a clear influence there and I'm sure Carlin would be happy about Maher's work.
He would have lost his shit
“A human being, who sometimes has a bad day.”
Some of the truest words ever spoken!
It really is, and when we’re quiet or moody because of it it’s like we’re the bad ones
Good on him for mentioning the social credit system. That’s some scary shit
Hell yea is scary.imagine to be judge constanly by the system.big BROTHER IS WATCHING.
@@CarlosReyes-sk1zs youtube has noted your comment
@@op3129 DAMM,THEY GOT ME!
except... China didn't have that system implemented right now. Maybe US will set up their own ones before China, who knows.
The University of Alabama now uses an app that tracks the movements of the students during home football games and uses future ticket pricing and availability to reward those who stay through the 4th quarter and punish any student who might leave the stadium early, even if staying means sitting in 100 degree sun, watching a 55-0 blowout of some paid sacrificial lamb like Louisiana-Lafayette. Google "Orwellabama". Big Brother is rapidly becoming real and Americans seem to be okay with it. We're doomed........
One of Bill Maher's best segments ever, 5 stars. ;)
On par with fat shaming. As long as he stays away from Trump and politics he is witty and funny
Worst youtube comment ever, 0 stars.
@@Auriflamme Worst reply ever. 0 stars.
@@BeautifulMutant Fair enough, it's such an old thread I don't remember what it was about.
@@Auriflamme Y'know, I didn't even look at the date.....😂
"Millennials might be into that"
Bill, millennials are the low wage workers on the reserving end of thoes reviews.
Keep voting socialists and you will soon be unemployed.
Noir Rain Yeah, what have unions ever done for the American worker besides higher wages, paid time off, weekends, and 40-hour work weeks? Psh, vote for elite Republicans. That’s who fights for the little guy!
SailingSeignior Unions started well, but have long been corrupted. Now they are colluding with the companies. Are you blind?
Noir Rain Unions are at their weakest point in history due to Republicans going back to Reagan. Are you nuts?
bullshit... look at for argument sake, the Rotten tomato "pro critic's.. most of them are between 20-40 old...
“I didn’t meet a single Republican politician”. Sorry Bill, you’re just not young enough for them.
Hahahahaha. I am glad I scrolled down enough to see your comment! It's sad and funny at the same time!
He probably didn't tap his foot in just the "right" way. 😂
Epstein wasn't a politician last time I checked. Weak argument.
Thanks for explaining the joke. I honestly didn't get it lol
Seriously no sarcasm
@@RkicF8 Bill Maher only defended female teachers having sex with male students. Maybe watching this will help you understand? th-cam.com/video/m6uvv1aS5_I/w-d-xo.html
He's right, but rating makes sense some times. Shady businesses, tourist traps etc. etc. have a much harder time this way.
Equalised by vindictive jobsworth assholes spamming dishonest negative reviews.
Really. How many fraud companies did it undo. Big multi national cos. still making pirate profits and rubbing their terrible products in your face while you rate them low.
Dude. Now that I think of it. I once whipped out my phone... and got mad at a business for not offering me a bag and wrote a rant-y review. I kinda feel bad now... but is this where we are arriving where we hold everyone accountable for micro-est details and slip ups? Then again Silicon Valley created this monster and reaping what they sew.
*sowed... lol
Sometimes, yes. We should make more effort, though, and rather write a (short) review than just give 3 stars out of 5 for "some reason". Bill's right about how ubiquitous rating has become. We see where it can go in Black Mirror: Nosedive.
Love that review of salt: "Four stars, salty"
This is what the Black Mirror episode "Nosedive" is all about
I felt so bad for the girl. She didn’t mean to collide with the lady on the sidewalk...and that’s were her rating system went down
Community did it first.
@@lking1540 Everybody talks about Black Mirror and forgets the better and earlier Community episode. Maybe we should say it with mustard in our face.
@@meatiesogarcia6478 lol, what can I say seems like the only people whose voice gets heard are 5s. Now excuse me I'm going to enjoy this apple.
Loved this. You never know what's going on in someone else's life, so let's cut people some slack!
I always love the New Rules! Always good for a few laughs!
Generally, it's the only part I can stomach nowadays.
I like your name 🤘😂
Don't always like Bill Maher but this is so on point. Except the millennials jibe somewhere in there. Other than that, super on point, 4.8 stars.
@Walter Jr. Cancel culture is like 100 people. 1 person can pretend to be 1000 No reason to say that is everyone between 19 and 39
@Walter Jr. -AKA the "LIKE ME!" generation .
@Visionary Owl : "I beg your pardon; we never promised you a rose garden". I'm a boomer, and I had no say in you millennials being born,. Geez, you guys had the LUCK to be born in the US rather than China, Pakistan, Yemen, or any other country where your life would likely be miserable, and here you are BITCHING about the "times" you were born in. Have never seen a generation with such a sense of ENTITLEMENT than you guys. PLENTY of good jobs for people who get a degree in STEM subjects. Don't bitch just because you got a degree in something like "Sociology" or "History". DECADES ago, when I was in college, I choose a BS in Accounting and NOT because I thought it would be FUN to be an accountant. I researched and learned it was a good, solid major always in demand. (And, btw, I ended up spending 25 years working as a "forensic accountant" which was a job I loved.
"When the going gets tough, the tough get going". The whiners like you seem to plan to spend their entire lifetime blaming other generations for their "life". I can see you now, at 50 or 60, in therapy, talking about how the "boomers" ruined your life. Not a pretty picture.
@Walter Jr. So out of the last 100 people you met at least 10 of them where SJWs? I find it much lower then that
@@arx754 Morons like you that don't even know proper grammar got jobs at businesses that were small during your time, and are now either much bigger, or have been acquired by another, more successful company.
Because of all the growth your incompetent dumbass was handed free promotions and extra money you didn't deserve nor earn. Now that things are stagnant, no one can pull your same dumbassery and just randomly succeed, unlike when you were younger.
Now the economy and country is waning, foreign powers go over our heads to negotiate with the EU and you don't like it, so you decided to just bitch about young people, while you had the most overprivileged generation in all of human history. Then you have the gall to tell someone in a completely neccessary job that will always be needed they don't deserve enough money to live, it's not your fault your generation fucked up the environment AND the economy in an idiotic stroke (pun intended), that YOU deserve lower taxes despite having more than enough to live, the younger poor people should pay for everything. YOU deserve social security and a retirement, but milennials don't, because you say so.
BTW, I am a STEM major, want some super simple math? Not nearly enough STEM jobs for millenials even IF exactly the neccessary amount decided to go STEM, most would still be fucked by your boomin' fat ass that was responsible for the creation of husky khakis and XXXL clothing.
Have fun getting fat and dying while the world goes to shit! I'm sure blaming the youth will fix EVERYTHING.
I'm on hold "because my call is important" - but not important enough to answer in a timely fashion. All the follow-up stuff is really just trying to gauge whether your frustration with the low priority you've been given is going to cost someone future sales. How long you have to line up for customer service tells you volumes about the quality of products and customer service. The review thing just lets people think they are important and venting their opinion matters so they won't simply seek out better products instead of helping companies with their consumer research and data mining.
There is quite a lot of consideration going into finding that golden limit between getting as many people to hang up as possible without it affecting sales too much. Also making things as troublesome to do as possible without customers getting "stubborn" and angry enough to stay on it and cancel. That last one is why it is so difficult to complain or change services sometimes, where they resort to confusing formulas that don't work or force you to call in or even write snail-mail to do these things.
It is considered and studied.
I will take those surveys following a call to a service center because I learned that good results mean the worker might get bonuses, etc. It's my way of looking out for the "little guy" is these big companies. And, yes, I give them 5 stars if they were nice and TRIED to help me, even if they weren't able to. Matter of fact, I've never NOT given the worker five stars and will add a few words (if asked for) to "extol" the worker for being so pleasant, helpful, etc. After all, they're working some crap job at a call center, so if I can help their pay a bit, why not? Only takes a couple of minutes.
@@arx754 - I do look at it a little differently, I guess. When I have to call customer service, and it is far more frequently lately, I'm calling to have something fixed that I've already paid for to have work correctly the first time. I have nothing against the service representatives, but their trials and tribulations aren't my concern - when I do surveys about service, it's to give honest assessment about service (and a lot of it is far from exceptional), not to help with bonuses.
It’s a fuckin joke my dude
@@Malt454 : It is not the Service Reps' fault. They're just a cog in a big wheel. If I believe they're sincerely doing their best, I ALWAYS give them a great review. I have no doubt that they put up with a LOT of abuse every day, and it's not like the jobs pay that much. IT's one small way I can make the life of a fellow human being just a tiny bit better. A bad review might make you feel better for a few minutes, but at what cost to the Rep who is likely doing his/her best?
And that is the difference between Maher and John Oliver. John Oliver would have put up the website.
Maher uses his budget to setup a nice green room for the guests (and you can bet there are 420 types of green in there). Oliver uses his budget to make world record size cakes. To each his own!

Thank you, thank you! Working in retail I have to deal with this every single day. Everything is a damn experience! You didn’t greet them in a happy sincere manor, you didn’t put the receipt in my bag but handed it to me... It ruined my day! If this is the worse you’ve had happen today, then damn it, you’ve had a good day.
I didn’t feel as if I were appreciated, no one was smiling, the workers aren’t smiling because they are dealing with ass wipes who think the world is not enough.
Oh Bill, the new thing is now, “l’m calling corporate!”
There is one area where we should have ranking but don't: Voting

Dump has a very good brain. He keeps in in a jar on his desk.
I think the only times ratings are important is for hotels.
Because it's a place you're going to be staying in for a week or longer, home away from home almost, and you need to know about experiences of others, and then make your decision.
Except not really. TripAdvisor, for example, is shitty. There was a whole show about the best TripAdvisor-rated restaurant in London, which actually didn't exist. Secondly, US Americans are in a US-centered bubble, ignorant and self-entitled tourists; they can't accept the fact that there can still be cultural differences. They expect everywhere to be like the US and are so needy. I really would hate to work for a hotel in the US. #talesfromthefrontdesk
@Cool Hand Mark Yep, I work in one. Got it.
@@nerdanalog1707
I understand there can be several aspects to this, but about a year ago I considered traveling to an area I had passed through several times. I hadn't noticed the motel "situation" on previous trips and the town I was going to was out in "the sticks". 1 or 2 of the motels in the area had bad reviews, 1 mentioned bed bugs. But if the bad reviews didn't indicate a long term trend or a recent problem....I took them "with a grain of salt" so to speak.
On the flipside, I don't go out to eat all that often but a few years ago went to a restaurant I thought had been recommended by a local alt newspaper. Well, the review wasn't recent, and the food was mediocre. CANNED veggies at a restaurant in Florida is a no-no in my book.
They didn't ask me to do a survey, but that restaurant was closed for good within a year. (The night that I ate there less than a dozen people were having dinner there.)
I've been to some very highly rated hotels and I can tell you my experience was no where near the ''professed'' superior quality of the rooms. e.g. the Grand Californian Hotel at Disneyland. basic as a Motel 6, and that was the high end room, they don't provide much in the room because they think you're going to be out in the park all the time. Disney HoteL, EPIC FAIL
If I’m buying something online rating are important since I can’t look it over directly myself and only see the pictures the vendor wants me to see.
Recently I bought some thing from Amazon , one of the items was broken . Was asked about my experience and told them one was broken , their response ( oh so sorry ) please return items ( only one was broken ) print out label and return , I dont have a printer , their response we will send one . No label , then I get an e-mail to rate my experience, so I told them one was broken and I was waitng for them to send a label , so e-mailed them back and told them I'am 72 years old and have copd the nearest bus stop is about 1 mile away ,it is 105. Degree's outside , of course this was e-mailed on the eleventh and had to be sent by the twelfth to an address 20 miles away , for a return of $ 12 .
Thanks Bill your topic hits home with this old guy
@Black Rod -Do they have an "FU" box to check?
I recently rated a noname shitty cable 3/5 and they are still harassing me over it.. "How can we improve your experience?" ... By fucking off, I am not returning a $3 cable just because it is mediocre and you are scammers scumming for 5 star reviews.
You can print things at Staples.
I love the lady that left a review for salt. "I use daily with some food"
I like my salt raw .
Such a deep and thought provoking review.
I think she was being dry funny.
So true. It is all the stupid constant contact software running. It’s cheap to badger customers.
As society slowly and steadily becomes more and more Orwellian there will be a point years from now when those coming generations will ask what an Orwell is, shrug it off, and go back to staring at their cell phones.
Probably there will be no staring. Mobile technology will be worn or even implanted.
From NOW?? you don't get out much do you, every where you go, faces in screens.
You just described 2019. We're already there.
Figured that was a given, but if not fixed it is a problem that will only get worse and we'll be left with future generations that form a society of phone zombies who are likely to consider getting a surgery that permanently attaches the phone to their hand so that they're never without it. Yes it's part way there already, but if doesn't get recognized in time we'll be left with people who never question anything or think for themselves, and therefore very easy to manipulate.
A boomer calling millennials judgy. That's rich.
Write them a complain so they can add your opinion to the evaluation survey at the end of the month customer review meeting . Or perhaps just get on with your life ?
Said the Millennial child of the Boomer.
@@woyame1 Nah. My mom was Silent Generation, I'm Gen X. Thanks for playing, though.
Not true bill, reviews are an important part of amazon, I buy on amazon mainly based on reviews, and then I review what I buy so other people enjoy it!
He got me with the Denny’s thing 😂
The Denny's thing was awesome.....
jenika pacheco I've tried going to Dennys in the past few years and every time it has been horrible and just as expensive as a local diner. I remember when I was a kid Dennys was actually good. Think it has something to do with them always hiring ex cons as their chefs now.
@@user-uy3eq5hg1s depends on the Denny's. Ive been in shitty Denny's and I have been in ok Denny's lets not forget its Denny's its not fine dining im pretty sure you would never catch bill Maher eating there ever!!!!!
@@user-uy3eq5hg1s where do you live? It's not as exoensive
@@profshad3429 It's not expensive but my point is you can get a better meal for the same price at a local diner instead of a Denny's unless you get one of their specials. I appreciate Denny's as a place to go at 3AM when you're totally wasted but besides that no thanks.
Anyone else notice how "Kat's" review of salt described it as "salty"? OK im a simpleton but laughed at that
As someone whos worked in restaurants for years, the biggest reviewers and complainers are Boomers. Never millenials..
shmaveyea really?
I'm going to give that weed a nice review, Bill is awesome
And judged!! Mostly for things everyone is guilty of at some point! No more second chances or forgiveness folks went out the window in 2019! Buckle up it's going to be a long ride!
Totally agree Bill. It’s made it’s way to U.K. too and it pisses me off! I recently bought some Chicago screws (now, now Bill... actual screws 😉) on Amazon and I was asked to rate my experience, my expectations AND my satisfaction on screws performance! My favourite is request from amazon to rate flower seeds which are to be planted March 2020! WTF I keep asking myself
I also rate this rant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
To control moral behavior government/religion imposed God is always watching and judging you. Present day society controls moral behavior by video cameras recording on a loop.

Yeah sure, its just the millenials who are judgy Bill

Masada1911 you just proved his point!
It’s true tho. They bombard with u with a fkn purity test for EVERYTHING JFC
I'd rather not reinvent the wheel, if a bunch of people had a shitty experience at a restaurant, I don't need to go in there personally to find out it's shitty.
Although I'm tired of the Millennial Bashing, I'm glad his new rules are laying off bashing progressives.
The stupid thing is that millennial's are some of the least likely people to judge workers for how they do they're job, since most of them know what it's like to have such a shitty job & might even still have one themselves. It's the boomers who love to judge service workers. They're the ones who won't leave a tip because the waitress didn't smile.
I doubt actual progressives (well, as I perceive them, i.e. most people that care not only about themselves but also those around them) would leave salty reviews everywhere by the bucket load.

@@colewood3297 Exactly. And it's pretty rich for Bill - of all people - to complain about judgy people. Has he listened to himself in a while?
@@colewood3297 Millennials are judgmental af, yeah they should know better but social media is rotting their brains and turning them into whiny hypocrites, complaining about how boomers are at fault for their own shitty life choices.
This is getting even worse! saw some 20 something woman demand to see the manager and she complained because the waitress wasn't smiling enough!
If bill didn't get instant feedback after every sentence he speaks, he wouldn't have a show
The novel 1984 comes to mind
It’s a Black Mirror episode basically. Look it up, it’s a real episode.

Well, it's an episode. But it's not real.
Complains that millennials like to judge others... while he judges millennials, often inaccurately, every show
the difficulty of having affairs with current vehicle tech is super accurate.
if you need to have an affair, perhaps you don't need to be married or committed.
I hate rating Uber. It's just a person driving a car, it's not the way I would drive but I'm not driving and it's not my car! And as soon as I get out of it my mind is some place else! I never felt the need to rate the bus driver every morning!
You're in the bus with a lot of other people to corroborate how the ride was. A lot of bad things happen to people in Ubers as it is with the ratings in place.
“Snake my drain” i think you got it backwards Bill.
would you get off the guy's snake damn
That would be, drain my snake. 😆💥😱👍
Bill Mahar missed on one important point... companies send out those "surveys" so they can tie them into employees' "performance metrics" so they have an excuse to take away their bonuses or have an excuse to not give raises out. Always follow the money and corporations continuous need to save every penny they can of it at the expense of employees.
Oh come on the salt one was an obvious joke.
What is really the nasty thing is, as he said, that employers are using the satisfaction polls in algorithms to dock the employees on their evals if they get anything below a perfect score.
I'm a rideshare driver and my ratings have plummeted over just a few 1 star reviews. I definitely agree with this.
Aww man... I gave this video a thumbs up without even thinking. I am the problem!!
Thumbs up if you like this comment
Recently I read a Yelp review where a woman complained and gave a one-star review to a wine bar that did not serve food and was restricted to patrons who were 21 years of age or older. She tried to bring a baby in a stroller into the bar and the manager explained to her that with their liquor license the way it was they were not allowed to have children on premise. She completely railed on this poor business who was restricted by alcoholic beverage control. I couldn't even believe it when I read it. It made me think of that movie "Sweet Home Alabama"
"Oh look.. it's a baby ...in a BAR"
I love how at least half of the New Rule segments are 'old man yells at thing he doesnt understand because no one would explain it to him for 5 minutes'
The one two weeks ago (Trump the Eco Warrior) was genius though.
Or, conversely, "old man yells about things he understands but many younger than him don't, because they weren't around when things were different, and don't understand what it was like".
Understands but disagrees.
And the comments section either blindly agree or tried to shove their world view/opinions into it.
3:44 When I get into an UEBER I just wanna chill out and enjoy the ARMENIAN DISCO MUSIC........................this is G.O.L.D!
Well, I think the difference is the internet. Many don't go to a store and have a look at the product themselves anymore, but go online to order it. So they want to make sure the product is decent and go to reviews.
Nobody needs it for restaurants in my opinion. Or music (taste of most sucks anyway). But before I spent hundreds I do my research.
That said, just go to a proper store nearby and fuck Amazon
"So they want to make sure the product is decent and go to reviews."
And this is why companies are using bots and buying fake reviews- both positive reviews for their products and negative reviews for competitors.
@@mswen1983 All reviews should be verified purchases or services rendered, solves that issue.
Completely disagree. The internet is not the internet.
Throwing every kind of user rating system (both the ridiculous ones and the ones that help consumers make informed choices) into the same bag to pad a rant benefits no one. Bill should just use one of those New Rule segments to scream "Get off my lawn!" and get it over with.
I got my car serviced at the dealer on the 5th. I got two emails that day thanking me and asking to fill out their survey and another five during the next week because I didn't. Finally I filled out their damn survey and told them I appreciate their work and that's why I've got it worked on exclusively at the dealer for the last three years, but stop emailing me a half dozen requests.
30 seconds in and I was already singing amen , enough with the "was it good for you, too"
Amen Bill. Agree with this 100%. And I hate youtube's old rating system with stars as much as the current one with likes and dislikes. No ratings, period.
You Have Been Reviewed and found to be wanting. EPIC FAIL !!!
there, my review of Millennials and the general populace of anthropoid hominids
NO STARS
"I don't like to judge" as Bill proceeds to do so
So funny. So on point! I literally was laughing throughout. Bill Maher has so many unique insights into a variety of topics. He never goes out of style! I've been watching him since the 90's on Politically Incorrect. Was obsessed with that show then and can't get enough Real Time nowadays . Bill Maher always keeps it real ☮️❤️
Bill Maher for president in 2020
When did American business get so "insecure"? When it discovered that it could get people to feel sorry for it and its" insecurities" as a cheap substitute for simply providing the service that people are ALREADY PAYING for. On paper, there are a lot more businesses "worried" about whether you're angry for their substandard service than they are about correcting their substandard service.
Another peeve:
You are on Amazon scouring the Q&A section of a product.
One of the Qs is what you want answered.
One of the Answers is: "I don't know. I did not buy this item."
This community member took the time to look through the questions of a product they DON'T own.
Really I think ratings systems are just a consequence of floor level employees not being empowered,or having the time, to fix things on a personal level for the consumer.
Conceptually Rating systems make it easy for management to gauge health by comparing the ratings to a revenue chart. The rating doesn't matter unless both are bad numbers, and management aren't retards.
Just another consequence of businesses needing to scale so large that word-of-mouth is a waste of time. Then enough business do this that other business HAVE to emulate this because "X is doing Y so should we" without bothering to have anything in place, or between the ears, to do something about bad ratings.
Of course then there's the issue that those in the company that see the bad ratings before management are incentivized to remove those "bad" ratings, which is different from solving the actual problem. So pandering ensues, everything is GREAT!
Kinda hilarious seeing THUMBS UP & DOWN icons below this video.
Unfortunately the average “bitch you’re going down” personality extends into prior generations, it’s a personality thing - speaking from experience working in assisted living care 👍🏻
Love Bill Maher. Funny as hell and very knowledgeable in political matters
A lot of inane reviews, like the salt review, are peoples desperate attempts to be noticed, or in some cases earn stupid little badges and titles, like, "Top Moronic Commenter. "I can't tell you the number of time someone who has asked a question on Amazon gets this response, "I don't know."
I use daily with some food - is one of the funniest things I have ever read
The rating thing is an integral part of internet shopping, the reason for it being that you can't see the item you are buying in person until you already bought it, so the only way to get an appropriate judgment of the product is to rely on what other people that have already bought it and seen it say about it. From here, people got used to weighing other people's opinion in other activities aswell. It's not unreasonable if handled properly.
Ehh, don’t knock Denny’s. It isn’t always shit. Go there at 2am.
reviews ask too many questions. should be 2 questions.
1. how many stars?
2. If not 5, why not? that will tell them everything they need.
The best Uber drive is the one where the driver doesn't say a word.
Bad reviews save me a ton of money on crappy products that might cause rash or easily break or don't do what they are supposed to, I frankly love reviews even though I don't write any.
Bill Maher is clearly small minded, not everything is black and white, just because there are some ridiculous reviews doesn't mean we should scrap the entire system.
I agree. What he's not recognizing is that word of mouth reviews have always been what makes or breaks a business.
He's speaking more about people who are just really petty. That's the impression I got. Like, "too much salt!!!....1 star!" I mean, for shit like that, it's subjective, petty, and fucking ridiculous.
I can understand if the product genuinely sucks, or the company was legitimately trying to scam you. OK...i get it with those cases, but the petty reviews I seriously can't take anymore.
Hey Bill, why not disable reviews of your youtube videos. (Actually Bill is wrong. Reviews and ratings help consumers)
"millenials love to judge" said without a hint of irony
Yes, because unlike a millenial, some of us remember what life was like before this crap. Was it perfect? No. Were we constantly on guard and at each others throats about every little thing? No. Were we making slow, but positive and progressive changes in the world. Yes. Were there constant reports of violence being enacted by the left and right towards one another every other day? No.Coming from someone who was rased in the 90's, and was considered "extreamemly left", millenials have made a mockery of all the hard work progressives of the past have done. They have taken our wonderful ideals of peace, love, and acceptance, and turned it into fascism. You want irony? Antifa was fucking irony. Literally fighting fascism with fascism. They might say "fight fire with fire", but thats when using water has failed. Just because the "new liberals" do not have the patience to fight the good fight, in the way that would do the legacy of Dr. King proud, and show that Malcolm X wasn't murdered for nothing, doesn't mean they can tear this country down, and undo CENTURIES of patient and understanding change. Ya'll need to show up, sit down, and let your elders show you how to change the world, like we did when we were younger, not throw tantrums about because you want to tell a race how they should feel about their relationships. Fuck you millenials, I may *technically* be a part of that generation, but ya'll are too fucked in the head to get anything real done. Thats saying something coming from me...
This is so fucking true. lol. How do people have time to be rating all these businesses??? This shit is so fucking petty. Everyone is human and makes mistake. Just go on with your lives. You'll be fine.
The only exception I understand is if someone, beyond a shadow of a doubt, was trying to scam you...ok. I get the bad review thing there, but otherwise, please JUST STOP this insanity. Unless it's a great 5 star (or highest review possible) just go on with your lives.
This is hilarious and I agree with it on one level... but in a past life I did work retail and the ratings & comments things are useful to both consumers & companies. If you don't offer it then the only stuff that gets out there are reviews by cranks that had a bad day. It was a retail mantra in the 90s that one pissed off customer (often not even the retailers fault) would go out and blab to everyone but happy customers seldom bother to tell anyone unless directly asked. Ratings are completely voluntary so do one or not and move on. Customers should not be rated in most cases.
TheBioExplorer it’s still that way in retail. Usually the pissed off person will jump on your site or yelp or both and rant while a happy customer will just come back and spend more
If customers can rate businesses, then businesses can certainly rate customers.
@@frunkytowntesla Of course they can... But in most cases it's a poor idea for a business to do so.
Agreed, but this only proves how blatantly flawed the review system is. I've had service employees tell me I need to rate them 10s across the board to get positive responses from their bosses, which strikes me as highly manipulative on the part of the company. The process is unfair, unrealistic, and should be discarded.
I only do reviews when I get shitty service but it is my bad luck that places that give me shitty service don’t usually do surveys. I always get surveys from places that give good or reasonably good service
I love these Bill Maher solo’s and the forced laughter from his panel.
You want a good laugh? Go on amazon, pull up the most insignificant meaningless thing you can imagine, and read the reviews. I do it often and it's a fucking laugh riot.
Yes, we review light bulbs now because GE isn't the only company in America making them anymore.
I seriously got an e-mail from the delivery company to review the delivery of a package... 🤦♂️
There's an episode of Gumball about this. Funny but quite accurate
There also needs to be a little bit of a sign next to every review something that let’s the audience know what your percentage of positive versus negative reviews are. If I see a negative review from somebody who only writes negative reviews all the time everywhere probably doesn’t mean much other than they are crazy. If I see a negative review from somebody who always writes positive reviews it is probably more likely legit
When you Rate someone, you RAT them out. Real nice society...
If I don’t enjoy the food I don’t use them again I don’t try and destroy there reputation with a bad review, it’s just my opinion someone else might like it, I actually have given a bad review once when I was in a bad mood about something else and I regret it , shitty thing to do
Love it! Finally, someone speaks my mind about this!
This video a why I’m a conservative that loves Bill. He’s a liberal that can actually rip on obvious bullshit no matter what.
This just in from the “GET OFF MY LAWN!” dept.
Bhahahahahahah. Bill Maher does not get sarcasm himself. All these salt reviews - peeps trying to outsmart/outjoke each other.
Actually, in my experience, it's the people from older generations who are petty enough to go online and leave negative reviews. Other than that, this was all pretty on point.
He never dissapoints. He always finds a contorted way of channelling his frustration at millennials no matter how tangential the topic. I wonder how much longer it'll take for him to fade into irrellevancy...
when you Milllennials all quit watching him. it's up to you. but Millennials expect everyone else to do everything For Them, just like Mums and Daddums did.
@@RIXRADvidz You forgot to throw "triggered" and "safe space" in there somewhere to check off every anti-youth bromide in your pissy diatribe. Notcie the irony, btw?
Bill Maher sounding more and more like a libertarian.
Good.
Yeah, but he's still got his common sense so he's not going to join your Tea Party militia. Libertarians ONLY care about the liberties THEY want (which usually revolve around a death spiral of taxation and "framer's intent" because they don't want to pay taxes and contribute their due to the social contract). Just like D's and R's only care about the freedoms and priorities THEY want, which are equally as asinine.
Bill is actually an INDEPENDENT. The only political affiliation that makes sense. It's like being an agnostic, where you reject having some sort of "knowledge" of an afterlife that NO HUMAN BEING WILL EVER UNDERSTAND EVER EVER EVER. Independents reject being pigeonholed, choosing rather to judge issues based on their individual merit. Unlike Libertarians who must filter EVERY single issue through their own personalized Libertarian filter, again, usually boiling down to whether it should be taxed, and the answer is ALWAYS no. It's just as bad as being an R or a D and it leads to the same ultimate end of fanatacism and demagoguery and violence.
In case I wasn't clear enough: f**k libertarians.
I don't know I kind of like certain ratings. I pay more attention to why someone gave it one or two stars then I do too why someone gave it five stars. It tells you something about the product . Not so much with restaurants though because people just like to bitch .
“Millennials like to judge”
An honest review of Pacific Wilderness dive shop would have alerted me NOT to waste my time. Instead I had to find out at great physical risk and my precious time- they have no wheel chair access! Also they choose NOT to serve and sell to POC and people with a physical disability! Just walked out of Pacific Wilderness-San Pedro Jason,manager&his staff&other caucasian customers all ganged up on me&violated ADA. still need good mask& snorkel!
I once had to block a hospital number after they *bombarded* me with calls for three days straight asking me to rate my experience getting stitches. It was so unpleasant it made the stitching feel like a cakewalk, I'm not even kidding.
These are my favorite New Rules. The everyday annoyance ones
'[Milennials] love to judge.' Grandpa Bill seems to be immune to the irony of that statement. But who am I to judge?
urinals have cakes? we don't get cake in the ladies' room. this is patriarchy at its worst.
