Yup. I guess I'll use Youtube less, then. The downvote ratio contains so much information as to what video is garbage. Less than 80% approval -> I don't watch.

I use a Ratings Preview chrome extension to show me the downvotes next to the thumbnails, and it will be rendered useless. I guess I'll just stop getting into Youtube rabbitholes now.
Maybe it is a blessing in disguise.
- deadmutex 5y agoNote: the downvote ratio is a noisy (and sometimes misleading) signal. From my personal perspective, most vaccine related videos have high % of dislikes. And bunch of videos implying Ivermectine as a cure videos have a high % of likes. I think the dislike ratio is not as valuable to many of these videos.
