Some in the thread have speculatedthat a number of videos uploaded by the White House during President Joe Biden’s administration were, in fact, the subject of a “targeted dislike campaign.” In contrast, footage shared by Donald Trump’s White House has received a suspiciously inflated ratio of “likes” to “dislikes.” This, according to one follower, may have inspired YouTube to attempt to restore balance.

tbh not sure what to think about this. there's a lot of YouTube videos that deserve the dislike ratios that they recieve. it also notifies viewers if the video is worth watching or not. rapid dislike trolls aside of course.

idk weird decision bc the channel can literally toggle whether or not likes/dislikes are visible. I don't see the point of seeing likes without dislikes, an illusion.

holy scheisse

Why is there even a Like/dislike function on youtube tho . Do disliked videos get deprioritized by the algorithm or something

Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, tiktok all have likes without dislikes.

I suppose. I guess I don’t find anything wrong with getting rid of the dislikes. It doesn’t really do much except bring about negativity.

I could see if YouTube was strictly ad campaigns/companies… but its main focus is people creating content.

Those platforms are a bit more personal than YouTube though

Those social media sites also have videos and content creation beyond the “selfie”
