This is presented in a way that infers political partisanship, but without any evidence for or against that argument. - No statistics for previous administration's like/dislike removal rate. Was it lower? Higher? We don't know. - No statistics for YouTube like/dislike removal rates on other kinds of political or non-political videos. Maybe this is extraordinary behavior for YouTube, or maybe not. We don't know. In other words, this is flame bait that people can read into whatever they want to confirm their biases. With a heavy dose of partisan editorializing ("Disgusting!"). At best, it shows a need for more principled study from someone else.

It's alt right propaganda. On the frontpage of HN.

The left wasn't keeping track of how many of their dislikes were removed from the previous administration. Why not? Because it was a pitiful and legit amount. That's why! Think!

  Do you have any supporting evidence of this? Unrelated to the topic, from your comments and post, you seem like you are a rather smart person, but you are also accepting a lot of negativity in your life. I really do suggest you disconnect for a bit from TV, news, and the Internet and look for creative outputs for your energy that aren't Red vs Blue.

    Well, I know I didn't keep track 2017-2020 and I don't know any site that did. Do you have site that actually did? If I would own 81m.org site which only purpose is to monitor whitehouse youtube channel (very specific) and believed that the end justifies the means, why wouldn't I hire a botnets to help with that effort? If my botnet works I can show that general population is dissatisfied. If youtube removes my spam I can use that to show that YouTube is partisan. Either way I win.

If we wanted to be truly scientific about this and make for an interesting conversation, we would try to get to the bottom of this instead of shooting down the OP.
