Dankmustard MobileHas anyone else ever heard of a “coordinated attack on channels” using dislikes to stop the owner from profiting from the algorithm?
Until youtube made this change ive never heard of anything like that.
But besides that,
I personally won’t watch or not watch something based on what the majority thought of it, i’d always just base it on the content, and leave if it wasnt what i wanted
Just look at any coronavirus video posted on YouTube by a news station lol. People have been doing these attack campaigns for ages

Not really. Why should companies continue running ads on the platform when they just get dislike bullied no matter what they post. YouTube gets most of their revenue from them buying ads as it is. It’s for them.

Perception. If you click on a video that has a ton of dislikes and not too many more likes you instantly are going to perceive the video in a much more negative light than you would if it didn’t.
Why would companies feel comfortable continuing to spend a ton money on this promotion reality

Okay, I see what you're saying, but I dont really care about the ways they optimize for ad revenue lol, maybe it was a good monetary decision for them but it doesn't benefit people who used dislikes to gauge what was and wasn't good content. There have been dislikes since the dawn of YT

Why should I care about s***ty ads? I f***ing need to know if the tutorials I watch are good or not by the dislikes man. It saves so much time

YouTube doesn’t care about you and others that don’t even get the YouTube premium subscription. You don’t make them money 🤷🏽♂️

I totally agree with you. I miss them immensely but I understand why they took them off.

Ok
lil ufo 🛸OPDec 28, 2021Btw guys
I can still see my dislikes count with the Chrome extension, even for new videos, it seems it's still getting updated
(Disliked a video a few days ago, and today it showed a bigger number which means people used the dislike button and it got counted)
Dec 29, 2021Two reasons YouTube removed it, so you can watch more ads and to censor online sentiment about the vaccine.
YouTube is going to destroy itself trying to do this dumb ass safe space zoomer s*** touted for content creators.
It just doesn’t make sense for YouTube to even look out for the “little guy”, they’re obviously blowing smoke up our asses lol.
YouTube is also demonetizing a lot videos if they aren’t heavily censored too.
Which means YouTube won’t pay the content creator AND they can still generate ad revenue off them.
All these businesses care about is money, if YouTube s***s itself they’d just leave and kill the next app and line their pockets up again.
