Hilarious the visceral response here to the apparent and inevitable decline of YouTube content quality with the removal of a dislike count -- when Hacker News itself doesn't show a down vote count nor even a down vote button for a large portion of its population.
- breakfastduck 5y agoYou are missing the mark very, very widely on an obvious difference. Upvote and Downvote are NOT the same thing as Like and Dislike.
- kevinh 5y agoIn theory? Yes. In practice? I'd be very surprised if there was any distinction at all.

But then dislike bombing would probably get even worse than now since greying out the content is a much more powerful signal to users.
