YouTube is removing 'dislike' counter from all videos

[cliffordcooley]

You're mistaken. That is covid you have. Claiming it is anything else is misinformation.

 

[DaveBG]

As they did for the comments. No one cares to dislike trolls now and it got full of bots and spam accounts...

 

[Puiu]

The "harassment" will just move to the comments. The dislike ratio is very important to me.

Pussies

 

[JamesBlond]

Shame, the poor panzies dont like their poor little feelings to be hurt... shame...
Grow some balls you might enjoy life

Socrates: cave men should stay in the cave. For the outside world is too bright and mean for them and they will end up kill each other.

LOL, the butthurt is STRONG. Imagine having to disable dislikes to protect your precious fee fees. And somehow, I dont think that disabling the dislike bar will stop people from ripping an utterly incompetent, incapable president to shreds over his dimentia riddled mandates and his cronies trying to measure trees by race.

And you know they've only hidden them from public view. The administration will still be able to cope and seethe over the horrible numbers.

Naw it's just the extreme left wing nut jobs, that believe you do not have a given right to actually hate anything or dislike anything they promote as being good, Totally down vote the crap out of Trump and cry like babies, but Biden and this complete Trainwreck of an administration you have to love, they give you no choice, you will embrace being dirt because you are white and the world's problems are solely your fault while minorities can burn cities and hold towns ransom with no consequence, and you will have to love everything the CDC and WHO states because they are rich and coasted on Mommies and Daddies money through a doctorate and totally only tell you real true scientific data that you must blindly believe and follow, and you must hit that like button and love all of what they force down your robot little throat.

In the words of the philosophers known as George Carlin and Robin Williams..... "F$@k them"

Problem was Trumps downvotes matched his upvotes. Biden on the other hand.... his downvotes, do not match his upvotes. Trump to an extent served half the US Citizenry. Biden is only serving foreign interests. D&R's are not liking what is happening.

Dislikes should be removed altogether. If you like, click like. If you don't like, better STFU and proceed elsewhere.

Free thinking is okay, but keep it to yourself. Not all free thinking are noteworthy. Mostly are convoluted can of worms.

What kind of protected bubble would you rather live in? One where NOBODY gets to disagree with you? Or would that hurt your feelings too much?

 

[Peter Farkas]

I wonder how many will just comment "dislike", and then others will just like that comment...

 

[mrvco]

Right, I'm sure this is about harassment and not the embarrassing numbers of dislikes for political and social opinions that agree with Alphabet's own leanings.

Without a doubt. #wokemob appeasement might buy them some time, but it won't last.

 

[viperfl]

YT did this because Creepy Joe got so many dislikes on his videos that YT actually had to change the dislike numbers themselves. Why even still keep the dislike button? The video creator can just say they got positive feedback when in fact they didn't.

B-I-N-G-O

 

[Jack Deth]

Goose stepping towards the One Government. One dislike at a time...

 

[FatLeeAdama]

Just put the "thumbs down" emoji in the comments. Wonder how long it would take them to remove that. LOL.

Atleast then we could put an account with the dislike numbers.

 

[Theinsanegamer]

You know, this wotn change anything. people will just switch to "lol look how few likes the video has" or point to the number of reactions. Quelling dissent like this never works.

 

[Arbie]

Gotta LOL at the brainlocked conspiracy theorists here! If YT had a political agenda they could advance it in many infinitely more subtle ways.

WAIT - they're probably doing that already! No wonder our civilization is doomed.

 

[zamroni111]

So I can't see how many people dislikes LTT's reckless & cluttered build videos?

 

[Mrgene]

Another means to censor us. If there is a post people do not agree with and to show their displeasure by using a thumbs down is no longer available. Maybe this is so you cannot see how many dislikes a certain politician is getting these days. Seems odd to happen just about now. You know, Let's go Bandon, FJB!

 

[GamerNerves]

Pretty dramatic reactions here over a small change, but I would too prefer having the numbers visible because it's simply more interesting. Dislike mobs will dislike nonetheless.

 

[cliffordcooley]

Personally I think they should only give dislike credits to those who have liked other content. Anyone that wants to be negative needs to show they can be positive at the same time.

What kind of protected bubble would you rather live in? One where NOBODY gets to disagree with you? Or would that hurt your feelings too much?

It's not me. It's about those a-holes who click dislike on everything beneficial. It's like spoilt kids. The parents tell them cheating and lying is bad, and they dislike that advice. You wouldn't want people disliking your efforts to show kindness to other human beings and nature, for example, would you?

So now I’ll have to watch a possibly crappy video (I’m referring to troll videos) to see if it’s worth my time and youtube gets to plaster some more ads for me to have to endure. It’s all about making money, corporate companies don’t care about anything else but income. Instead of fixing their spam bot issues they are fixing the users… this PC cancel culture is the end of the world
