Same thoughts I had, the more niche the topic the more important this feature was for finding a workable solution. A year back I was fixing a microphone and 9 of the 10 videos I looked at on it were convoluted expensive or ineffective work-arounds while one actually showed how to fix the issue relatively easily. I'm really gonna miss this feature.

Another example of this: pronunciation videos. Downvotes are a massive indicator if a chosen video is inaccurate.

  Which is kind of funny when you think about it. Who would watch a pronunciation video if they already know how it’s pronounced? Not discounting what you said. Just found it amusing :)

    I suppose it could be people checking multiple sources and coming back to downvote after assessing which is the right one. At least that's the world I want to live in. A guy can dream.

    Often time when I look up a pronunciation video, it's for a language I'm learning and I have a vague idea of how the word is supposed to sound, but not sure on things like tonality and stress. So, if I were to look up how to say "ramen", I might not know if it's supposed to be ra-MEN or RA-men, but I'd know it's wrong if they say it like "r-amen".

Some heavily downvoted videos are great. Here's a classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXmv8quf_xM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXmv8quf_xM Currently rated 3.7k likes, 15k dislikes. It's so good.

  I say we vote bomb Brandons WH Vids, and the next YTRewind, let Mama Susan have her "win" while it's clear to everyone else that the joke is on them.
