It's true. On top of the excellent content and the clear authenticity of your voice, I think you have a real facility with language and are a natural communicator - not bad for a scientist, haha!
I think you are missing the point. If you state "I believe the star rating system is meant for honest, PERSONAL evaluation of services" Where am I wrong in my criticism of Ahmed requesting we ONLY give a 5 star rating , to maximise the positive effect of our personal review? With this post "The perfect review" it goes one step further using nudging. I find both influences on the personal rating system highly unethical, intentional or not. As for the commercialisation, I am a paid subscriber to the Doc Malik podcast , as such I have a problem being targeted with ads to buy a coffee, become a paid subscriber (?!) , retreats and consultation services.
Apart from using my freedom of speech my last resort would to use my freedom of feet , unsubscribe and move on. Which would be unfortunate as I do really like Doc's work.
I dont share this view. I find it highly unethical to ask people to give a 5 star review. A review is a personal opinion on what you think about a service. Mr. Uncaptured looks to be captured ,I cannot say what or how. While I appreciate the good work Ahmed has done, as a paid subscriber I find myself sick to the stomach witnessing the growing commercialisation of the Doc Malik brand.
Why does the review function have 1 to 5 stars? For the user or customer to give a PERSONAL rating of the service. Its not there to increase your reach or rise in ratings. That is the perverted mechanism built in to tempt people to do anything for a star extra. But its for the cause right? Vaccine passports were for the cause too. Thats unethical and captured in one go.
Commercialisation : I am a payed subscriber, but the amount of adds in your shows have grown from your friends plug telling me to subscribe, to a retreat weekend , birthday party , private consultations. Where does it end?
To me, doing a short on a review is to me a sign you have lost it.
I dont expect you to understand judging from your high on your accomplishments and doing good.
I find your feedback inaccurate, unfair and misleading. As a third party, I believe the star rating system is meant for honest, personal evaluations of services, not for attacking someone's livelihood. The individual you're reviewing is clearly working hard to provide value without relying on paid ads, and offering services like consultations or events is a fair way to sustain their efforts. This doesn't equate to commercialization but shows dedication to their work. Your comments could unjustly harm their business, and l urge you to consider the impact of your words.
Suggesting unethical motives or dismissing their good intentions overlooks their commitment to their community.

A well deserved review.
You were born to do this work Ahmad.
You should feel proud 👏👏

This is 100% true. I have never met you but you genuinely seem like a really nice guy and interested in learning about the world.
Take care of yourself doc. Much love.

Why is it unethical?
How am I captured?
What do you mean by commercialisation?

I respectfully disagree with your comment and am disappointed that this is how you think. 😕
