I was a big proponent of approval voting for over a decade, and I still would prefer it over most systems. But I really like STAR voting now as well, and have actually used it in the home to pick what to watch on movie nights. STV seems pretty decent too.

    STAR has the same problem, if you like an underdog candidate its mathematically best to rank only them so your other choices don't end up overtaking your prefered choice. That doesn't happen in RCV until your preferred choice has alrrady lost. Both STAR and Approval are far far more gameable than STV
