    They have now removed the dislike count, here's what I've observed.
    As everyone predicted, the comments are more aggressive.
    A flood of angry comments is much more noticeable than a single number.
    In their attempts to silence criticism, they made it more obvious.
    Also, every largely disliked video will have a bunch of "use me as a dislike button" comments, so the change doesn't even do its fucking job.

      @Sparky1970 A dislike isn't always criticism though, a lot of the time it's just people being negative assholes or having a grudge against the creator. Which is why literally every video on UA-cam that has over a certain number of views has dislikes, no matter how objectively good the video is. It's annoying when someone spends days, weeks, months working on something then some mouth breather in a basement who has never made anything in their life just smashes the dislike button. It's just spreading unnecessary negativity.

    Dislikes have always been a red flag to me. It doesn't necessarily influence my thoughts on a video, but it gives me warning signs to look out for. If there are 20% dislikes, I can still generally trust a video, but I will look to the comments to see why people are disliking. It's usually minor grievances or some factual thing that was wrong, etc. 50% dislikes is an instant red flag, and if I don't see obvious brigading in the comments (which is pretty rare), I'll assume the video is just incredibly controversial or incredibly wrong, and watch out for those pitfalls through the video.
    If the likes/dislikes are hidden? The creator is dishonest. It's as simple as that.

      I cannot believe they went through with this. It might seem trivial for "bad" content in vlogs or whatever UA-cam thinks is the only content on their platform. But I can say with confidence dislikes will have saved people's lives in the car modding community, and saved millions of dollars in bad mistakes for PC building and similar.

    The nail in the coffin for the “comments are better feedback” argument: if a video had 1000 comments would you rather: A:have to spend hours reading them individually. Or B: see that there’s 600 dislikes and say to yourself “maybe I did something wrong” within the timespan of only a few seconds. Any ideas anyone?

    • @narthar7113
      @narthar7113 2 роки тому +4

      Well, in the spirit of what Emp is saying, if people see a comment they like and agree with, (especially if its on a controversial video) they will like the comment. If enough people agree with that sentiment, it will be brought to the top of the comment section, along with all the others that the creator can see how much people like.
      The only message that dislikes convey are Good and Bad. Not very descriptive wouldn't you say? For example, if I were to dislike your comment (assume that you could see that it was disliked for this example), the only thing it does is say that I don't agree, but WHY I don't agree. Dislikes by themselves only comment on what a person is saying by saying "Comment Bad," rather than a genuine explanation that someone has to put time into.
      Also, people who care more to actually look at comments and choose one or multiple to like shows more care and justification than the opinions of those who are able to click dislike with no effort or thought necessary.

      Exactly, i only found this comment because i was scrolling this comment section because of the recent news.
      Even if its a UA-camr that doesnt have millions of subscribers, theres no guarantee that the youtuber will read the comments. They are almost 100% more likely to see the like to dislike ratio because its one of the first things you see on a video.

    On the “dislikes are coming from people who haven’t even watched 5 seconds” argument, it’s correct, however I often watch sections from controversial videos on reactionary videos, dislike, and watch the video in its entirety later.

    UA-cam doesn't care about the well-being of its creators. If they really did, then they'd tackle the issue of especially small creators getting bullied by large corporations with things such as false copyright claims. But it's easier for them to say "we're doing this thing for you guys!" and not listen as those same people chastise the decision.

    The main argument saying a dislike bar can lead to a bad performance of the video is a bullshit argument. Imo, its the whole point. The audience should decide what is good content, not the website. It's literally killing free speech. Dislike mobs are bad they say, but a company like UA-cam deciding to tamper with the dislike bar is the exact same thing. It forcefully changes the general narrative. They do it to generate a better appeal for large investors in their business.

Because at least they tried doing something big on that one, while in the newest rewind they literally made a glorified top 10. And they kept hyping it up saying that pewdiepie was going to be in it, mr beast, etc. And while they *technically* are in the video. The only thing they did was take random footage from their normal videos, they didn't actually reunite and plan out some sort of funny skit in like the other rewinds.
