I do. Often. I prefer a 5 star system based on this: 1 star: just bad 2 star: meh 3 star: ok 4 star: good 5 star: excellent Given my original use case for this, books, a 5 star system is pretty much mandatory, IMO. 1 is not enough as it just signals that it's of interest, but not WHY. Three is better as you can indicate positivity, neutrality, or negativity, but nothing more. Ten stars is dumb and I have no use for it. Therefore, I prefer and will always advocate for a 5 star rating system for books. Other types of media are fine with a 2-3 indicator system. (Old school thumbs up/down are useful, and effectively a 3 indicator system given that you would have to really like it dislike something to bother with giving a thing a thumbs up or down.)

1-4 is bad bad bad. 4-5 is good. It's actually a binary system because almost everyone who doesn't hate it, gives it a 4 or 5. Items with lots of ratings usually have 4+ because of the way things average out, whereas newcomers and small businesses tend to have terrible ratings because one bad rating can skew the whole scale. You can terrorize or bankrupt small companies or creators with a few bad :star ratings. So, if they get some bad ratings, they will often ask friends, employees, etc. to login and give it some more good ones. 😅
