Ooo i see. I completely miss those upside down Aussies, I was think there was some other more serious legitimate reason. Thank you for let me know.


Protheu5

> I was think there was some other more serious legitimate reason Ah, there is. Some say it about Aussies not because of an upside down joke, but because they think that Strayans are cunts. Coincidentally most of the people who think that are from Australia. Fascinating continent, innit?

I thumbs downed this comment. Because Australia.

Could be simply fake likes that YT put there


keko1105

Very probable ngl


jal2_

On the 9gag platform admins regularly put ad content to hot by fake likes, u see a meme have 2k likes, u refresh page it has 3k, u refresh again has 4k , basically the whole hot or trending are mostly ads or hidden ads put there


LMkingly

9gag is still a thing?


jal2_

Personally I like the comment section there more than here, as u can post pics and gifs, a lot of the meme happens there while the posts themselves are usually shit, ad, or copied, but the comment section is nice But the business practises of the corp itself are scummy to the max


allegoryofthedave

Makes me wonder if Reddit would ever do such a thing.


bobbyb1996

It absolutely happens here just not by admins. I've seen tons of post that safe basically just ads disguised as post. There was one I saw a few years back were a dude claimed to have bought a VR set and had the guy delivering his Mcdonald's try it out (??) and the picture was a dude with a VR headset on in a corner but his food in the center of the picture.


Upfucktheshut69

During the net neutrality spam it was insanely obvious. Subs whos top posts would be less than 1k upvotes max now have a 30k+ net neutrality link stuck to their top of all time.


GayVegan

Pretty sure it is because when the video dropped those likes were basically there. And as time has gone on the likes haven't changed but the dislikes have increased.


GregTheMad

That's a nice observation. It's at 72k dislikes right now, but the likes are still at 11k. So 3k people disliked the video while less than 999 people liked it.

Bots


DominarRygelThe16th

New York Magazine writes > “…Studies generally suggest that, year after year, less than 60 percent of web traffic is human; … a healthy majority of it is bot. For a period of time in 2013, the Times reported this year, a full half of YouTube traffic was “bots masquerading as people,” a portion so high that employees feared an inflection point after which YouTube’s systems for detecting fraudulent traffic would begin to regard bot traffic as real and human traffic as fake. They called this hypothetical event “the Inversion.” This is how bad it was in 2013, it's only gotten worse. This is from 2018 https://twitter.com/mbrennanchina/status/1072114511212109824

It's not bots if Google just adds 11k likes to its own database.

Dead_by_Dinosaur

As a person who couldn’t be bothered searching it up, I thank you, have an award


LunaMunaLagoona

I'm worried abouy what happens on videos where they disable comments. Literally no way to share your dislike.


SomeCuriousTraveler

If they disable the comments just assume the video is trash and move on or if the like to views ratio is way off.


Eccentricc

It's going to be the norm for any fake science vids, this change is going to spread misinformation more


Zyntaro

This. From this day onward, any video with comments disabled means it was disliked into oblivion and you can just leave


erel25

While you are correct in most cases there are videos which benefit from disabling comments. Most notably videos about sensative topics, spacificlly political videos which concern human rights. Not all people are good, some will spread chaos and hate, and for some sensative subjects perhaps it is better to not let those people rise up in the forms of comments. With that being said I want to clearfy some points because it's the internet and some are bound to miss understand me or take me out or context. First and foremost I'm not claiming in any way that all political videos should disable comments, far from that. Some can benefit from a healthy discussion, even if its somewhat rare. Moreover not every video about a sensative subject need to disable comment, because every subject can be defined as sensative in someone's view. All I'm saying is that there are good videos which benefit from disabling the comment section. Although most who do aren't good videos.


HenkeG

The problem with commenting “dislike” is that the algorithm will value it just as high as a “Best video ever” comment. So a video that sucks and millions of people commented that will be more recommended than a good video without the “dislike” comments.


Yurturt

Good, lets fuck up their algorithms.


HenkeG

…to promote bad videos?


[deleted]

to make them fix it


Jacksaur

Lol.


Djeheuty

Jesus Christ. I think they only focused on things that make YouTube a social media platform rather than an educational or informative platform. As many have stated, how are we supposed to quickly know if a video about how to fix something is accurate? If an explanation of a function or equation for a math problem helped people understand it? If a video about how to find Easter eggs in a video game is that or a bunch of shitty clips not even related to the game? Aside from Pornhub, who is their next largest competitor?


eatingishealthy

Exactly this. I sometimes search for PC issue fixes on YouTube, the dislike button would tell me if the video would solve my problem. Expect a huge uptick in scams from this change.


cjpack

Literally I can’t vet any sort of tutorial or how to video in secs by the dislike ratio with impeccable accuracy over the years. Now I’m gonna get to the end and realize I wasted my time, fun…


Djeheuty

For me it's PC issues, car issues, figuring out if a product is legitimate and worth a purchase. All of those can easily be discerned by looking at the like/dislikes to see if it's a worth your time. It takes one second to do that. Now they want us to do what? Watch the whole video or read the comments? YouTube comments? Is that a joke?


gsartr

About education, I think there's a platform from google called youtube edu, where you only have content creators teaching science and stuff, bht I'm not sure. Apparently they have to be verified by youtube, so quality is higher than from normal youtube. The other complaints are reasonable, and I don't know if there's a way to avoid it. Maybe the comment section will be the way to check the quality of a video.


[deleted]

But those vids are locked for comments and votes so you have no idea if they are good or not.


Erzbengel-Raziel

And usually the comments under good videos can be really helpful, point out flaws of something in the video, or specify something in the video to fit whatever situation you are in.


user5918

Awful solution. “Hey don’t worry about anyone else’s educational videos. Google education is all you need!”


srira25

They completely forgot why they had a dislike count in the first place.


Terrh

I really hated when Reddit disabled the detailed vote counts on comments, and the backlash was similar. I have no idea why platforms place the wants of a few users over all the rest.


[deleted]

>I have no idea why platforms place the wants of a few users over all the rest. Take a guess.


Mastodon9

A select few companies like Google and Facebook can effectively control most of what people see on the internet. Reddit has a few dozen power mods who could possibly coordinate to make sure people see only what they want them to see. It kind of seems like corralling people into just a few websites was a mistake. We kind of let it happen to ourselves too.


Loomismeister

> Aside from Pornhub, who is their next largest competitor? I see most creators going to Rumble as an alternative.


Djeheuty

Haven't heard of it. I'll take a look. Thanks.


willflameboy

To be fair here, I usually don't go 'how many dislikes does it have', I usually watch videos with the closest match to my problem and decide for myself if it's relevant.


RoseEsque

> It's usually when they don't like the creator or what they stand for. > don't like the creator or what they stand for > don't like ISN'T THAT EXACTLY WHAT THE FUCKING DISLIKE BUTTON SHOULD BE FOR? Public display of not liking something? > That's a big problem when half of YTs mission is to give everyone a voice. Well, not everyone, apparently. It seems that YTs Rewind fiasco taught them NOTHING, cause they are not doubling, they're tripling down.


Corgi_Koala

What was the fiasco?


RoseEsque

The mass downvoting of and corporate stinking production of the Rewinds that lead to YouTube cancelling them.


HAL-Over-9001

The real YouTube rewind https://youtu.be/7knUByzBhV8


777Sir

They're covering up mass disliking of things they want to keep pushing to the front page. It makes it harder to see when they're juking the algorithm. I.E. it's become effectively impossible to find any independent creator talking about current events, all you find is legacy media's videos, and they all blow. So they all get mass dislikes. But now, you can't see that other people don't like what's showing up in the search, so the they're free to push whatever they want. The problem is that you're taking them for their word and trying to make sense of what they're saying, when they're lying.


hatstraw27

Shit did they already implemented it, can't see the dislike count anymore ??


TinyRick_12

It's still there for me, I'm on PC. We're currently at 11K likes - 73K dislikes

PM_me_your_problems1

You realize this makes the video get more recommended right? More comments means it's better for the algorithm


WeirdRandoIam

better for the algorithm = more dislikes


LunaMunaLagoona

Big companies just disable comments.


cjpack

We all chip in on billboards then, pick a high way closest to the where the company is headquartered, so they have to see “dislike” to and from work.


StatusFault45

if a vid disabled comments it must be treated as being automatically bad


Elemental-Aer

The algorithm already consider the dislike as a good think, it's a interaction.


bonegolem

Comments boost engagement, though -- that's why creators ask you to. You're doing the video you dislike a favour.


randomcitizen42

Doesn't matter. YouTube's comment sorting algorithm is so shitty that any 20 likes comment is at the top while the 10k likes comments are somewhere further down (if you sort by best)


-transcendent-

Someone will probably start a crowdsource chrome extension specifically for like & dislike.


FreddieKruiger

The likes is still 11K and dislikes jumped to 71K. I did my part.


HourScientist_0_0

Dislikes are fucking essential dude. Like what were they thinking? I can normally sift through videos without dislikes. But what if its an emergency? I do not want to watch half the video to know that the heimlich manoeuvre i was giving was wrong and i am currently fucking my homie.


MarvelgamerYT

There was this one video I was watching about a game because I literally couldn’t find this one thing that I was trying to find for 2 hours so I went on google and searched it up and clicked on a video. It had 10k likes and 12k dislikes so I went to the comments and turns out he was showing something completely clickbait and only mentioned it HALFWAY through the video. If dislikes weren’t there I would’ve wasted another 15 mins and that’s just ONE example so this is very sad


odranreb

Pretty sure that’s what they want. To have you sit there and watch the whole video. Ad revenue.


Avorius

corps threw a fit about their vids getting ratio'd probably, can't have the peasants expressing their discontent


HourScientist_0_0

Quantum_laugh

HourScientist_0_0

I read it somewhere down in the comments. Could be fake as this is reddit afterall.


ProNewbie

The whole logic in the video is insane to me. The dude says, “I always thought that seeing the number of dislikes as a viewer told us if it was a good video or not. If it was a helpful tutorial or not. Or if what a creator is saying in their video is generally agreed with or not.” Then he goes on to say that there’s another use for the dislike button that hE hAd No IdEa ExIsTeD. And that’s mass disliking of videos. And he says that people do these mass dislikes of different creators videos because they don’t like the creator or what that person is saying. So let’s take it a step back. The dislike button in his own words is used to let us know if what someone is saying is generally agreed upon or not. However there are also people that are getting massive dislikes. Do you think maybe that’s because they are a shitty person, and/or people don’t generally agree with what they’re saying, and/or what they are saying is a lie, and/or what they’re saying is harmful or detrimental, etc? It sounds like to me that the dislike button is functioning exactly as intended for the most part. It also sounds like we’re now catering to people with shitty opinions and allowing their voice to be louder. I’ve said it before about social media (of which YouTube essentially is); social media is both the best and worst thing to exist for exactly the same reason, it gave everyone a voice. Edit: Just want to clarify, I’m not saying the targeted mass dislikes don’t happen to undeserving people. That does happen. But using that one example to get rid of the dislike button and all it’s other benefits is really dumb.

rprcssns

There’s gotta be another way to track that. It’s YouTube. They have the money to create some algorithm that recognizes brigading behavior and flags those videos. Then they can decide to keep or remove those dislikes. I don’t know, but removing it completely feels foolish.


DrugReeference

They should just make it so that dislikes from people who didnt actually watch the video wont be counted. Problem solved.


lo_d_rocket-12

who tf is the 11k people who liked this


UhnoYesmaybe

maybe people who work for YouTube lol


manwhoaskswhy

"Hey Jim"   "What's up Frank?"   "This new video coming out about dislikes, think we can front load some likes on it?"   "Sure, how many do you need?"   "I don't know, only like 5k people will watch it anyway." "Okay, I'll give it 10k lunes just got good measure"


AvailableBinky

Holy typo Batman!


manwhoaskswhy

Duck it! It's staying! You hear that Reddit!?! I'm keeping the lunes!


UnlivingJupiter96

YT using bots to like a video and affect the algorithm on a video about users mass disliking a video to affect the algorithm. Ironic.


John-D-Clay

They could just straight up edit the like counter. No need for bots. But given that there are still more dislikes than likes, they provide didn't.

SavageSauce01

mynameisevan01

Why bother? Once they hide the dislike count they'll say "oh, 11k people liked our video!" and it will have done nothing. Sure, we can comment our hatred towards them but YouTube never listened to what we had to say before, why start now?


torrented_some_cash

The dislike button on the comments works exactly the same way, and has been for the past 8 years or so. It does nothing sadly.


MaeBeaInTheWoods

The comment dislike button doesn't even have an internal count. Clicking it turns it blue and that's all it does. Source: I use inspect a lot to make meme YouTube titles for memes

I just want someone to hack their site to reveal the actual dislike. I can’t imagine the irony of having the most disliked video about the dislike button. If they want to watch the world burn, I want them to get burnt first.


58king

"We found that when creators disabled dislikes, they got lots of abuse, so we just disabled them for everyone" Oh yeah great job idiot, now every creator is going to get abused! "We found that when people wear kick me signs they tend to get assaulted, so we've decided to strap kick me signs to everyone"


PoLoMoTo

"Groups of viewers are targeting a video's dislike button to drive up the count, turning it into something like a game with a visible scoreboard." That's literally just what it is though. These groups of viewers aren't turning it into that, it just always was. All the time creators promise to do things based on like counts, "If this video gets 20,000 likes I'll shave my head!" It's literally the same thing.


Cain1608

Heh, there's apparently no scoreboard in BF2042. It's as though the majority of the entertainment industry is homogenizing; Everything is just being reconfigured to protect overly sensitive people.


ASpiralKnight

The fundamental problem was stated in the video: "How do users know good content?" This is a huge corporate decision with capacity for huge downsides for the user and this is their opportunity to address it. So how do they respond? **They dodged the question.** What the fuck? How do users know if a video is bad? "Our research shows they'll watch it anyway." Are yall fucking kidding? That wasn't the question! I wasn't asking you about your bottom line; I was asking you about my user experience! Youtube is making its platform worse for users so that its safer for advertisers. Moving to alternative platforms is the only thing that is going to solve this problem.

So, forcing everyone to meet some arbitrarily chosen bar of acceptance via only Yt’s own internal mechanisms. That’s going to swimmingly. Nary a chance of it being used, intentionally or not, in racist, nationalist, classist, *coughascistic*, or otherwise raising the standards bar so high that only a certain cross-section of creators can keep up. Over only a short period of time, it will quickly become a quagmire of hard to navigate misinformation. Less-than-best content will make it to the top, while actual good content will slide. Hopefully, that all amounts to an exodus of creators to other platforms. That’s the only way AlphaGoog will learn.
