Seconding this. I got a used Wii and hacked it to play pirated games from an SD card, including Just Dance. Literally every commercially sold Wii can be hacked now, it’s super easy. No money given to Nintendo.
Also, the Just Dance modding scene is still pretty active and there are Wii ports for newer songs/games. But you can emulate stuff instead if you don’t have/want a Wii.
Letterboxd and Goodreads both use a star rating system in addition to long-form reviews and it seems to work out great. I have my disagreements with how the sites are run, but the rating system isn’t one of them.
YouTube star ratings never included the opportunity to review (in text) a specific video, so I think your comparison isn’t very applicable or helpful in this specific situation. The Steam review system isn’t very analogous to how YouTube used to work.
