Would anybody else want to see a ratings breakdown like you see on Amazon?
My new story dropped Tuesday night and when I checked Wednesday morning I had 2 votes: a 1 and a 2 (2 votes, 1.5 average). As of Friday morning I’m at 4.33 with 36 votes (whew). I’d love to see a breakdown of what votes I really got.

This is asked for, often, but it's unlikely the site will provide the data. Some folk track it themselves, regularly recording the movements and identifying scores. With basic maths, you can get some idea of individual scores, but you have to track them as they come in.

You're better off waiting thirty days, which is when a story score is what it is, once everything has settled down.

I think it would be interesting to see a breakdown.
 
You can get somewhat of a "feel" for what votes you got by using score time votes calculations. in your case:

old votes (2) * old rating (1.5) = 3
new votes (36) * new rating (4.33) = 155.88

change in votes = 36-2 = 34
change in rating = 155.88-3 = 152.88
average new vote = 152.88/34 = 4.496...

You got about an equal number of 4's and 5's.

The method isn't exact because Lit rounds the scores to two places, but it can be helpful sometimes.
