I had an original S1 TiVo and rule of thumb (excuse the pun) was don't do 3 thumbs up or down.
The reason behind this is was it was rather aggressive in that you put 3 thumbs down to say Forrest Gump. This may well halt all suggestions involving those main actors, the genre of film etc.
TV wise if you gave 3 thumbs down to Eastenders but 3 thumbs up to Coronation Street it's all a bit puzzled as to what to do with Soaps and probably doesn't bother doing anything with that genre.

Ever since then and still now I typically do 1 thumb and if I really like or dislike something do 2 thumbs.
It seems to work well for me based on that.
Due to the kids getting hold of the remote occasionally and just hitting buttons as they do I review the ratings from time to time and remove 3 thumbs up for Paw Patrol and 3 thumbs down for Line of Duty.
