  Nowadays, you can rate almost anything: restaurants, products, movies, etc. But what if you could rate… humans? That idea will soon become a reality thanks to a new app called “Peeple”, allowing users to rate anyone they know using a scale of one to five stars.

Naturally, the idea of rating another human is sparking a lot of debate online, with the Washington Post calling it “the terrifying Yelp for people.”

Still, the co-founders for the app say they will not be “shamed into submission”, and plan to move forward with the project.

What could possibly go wrong?
