Typically they might rate their book 3.5/5, then round it up to 4 stars. I've seen stuff like that for other genres too, but it's festering in the YA genre specially.
What's so wrong with those authors? I've only read Sarah J. Maas and she's not too bad, imho. I'm not saying she's a shining example of what the YA literature should be, of course. But I've enjoyed some of her books.
