Podcast Reviews Rating Scale

My expectation is that the distribution of reviews will shift to the right since I have finite resources to consume all of the content that's avaialble and I am very likely (almost definitely) going to focus on only the better/best content and I'll very rarely "hate listen" terrible content.

At the risk of drawing the ire of well-known advantage bettor Shipper, here's the podcast rating scale that I do my best to abide by when completing these reviews -
Rating Criteria
10 Listen at 1x, listen multiple times. Legit top right podcast episode. Should be impossible. If you get a 10, you probably did something very wrong and gave out some massive edge killing information. Not only unique, value adding betting information, but perfect production, extremely high entertainment value, a reference podcast that will be referenced for years.
9 Listen at 1x, very clear and concise info / edge / alpha haven't heard anywhere. Great unique content, unique voice of someone near the top of the industry while also still being highly entertaining.
8 Very entertaining plus there is some info / edge / alpha that should help with your betting.
7 Overall entertaining - worth the listen and enjoyable. If it's not entertaining, then the subject matter is worth listening to the podcast. 7 or above are pods that I think if you're seriously in the space, you should get some exposure to time permitting.
6 Mostly just fine, but one of two key moments that may or may not improve your betting, but at least makes or should make you think.
5 "It's fine." Almost all of the pods produced in this space will be around this level. Nothing that great, nothing that terrible. A lot of words to not really say a lot. Entertaining enough to listen at increased speeds.
4 One or two slightly egregious things said that annoyed me enough to not give them a 5 or no errors, but just almost no value at all whether betting or entertainment wise. If you skip this pod and those below it, life will go on.
3 One or a few slightly egregious issues plus some other issue - bad production, boring, too long (that means me). Minor touting or touting that annoys me greater than the baseline shilling.
2 Egregious errors, math errors. Moderate touting above the baseline "Welcome to Planet Earth everyone is shilling" behavior.
1 Platform given to egregious tout or individual. #LiesMounting. Really terrible math. Host eating a bag of potato chips throughout. Trains running through the living room every 15 minutes. 2x not fast enough so you contemplate running into traffic to make it end.
0 Re-evaluate your life choices. Seek professional help. Sell your microphones on Ebay.
