I guess we can make our own standard, someone should comment something like "This video is garbage." or simply "Dislike" and the amount of thumbs up on that comment can be taken as video dislikes.
I sometimes look for obscure how-to's, and I get garbage videos not even answering the question. If YouTube can get rid of all that garbage, then not having a dislike button is fine.
- NavinF 5y agoThe uploaders of garbage videos will delete all comments along those lines. The inability to delete dislikes is what made them so useful.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoThe alternative would be a 3rd party browser extension, that store the dislikes on a 3rd party server... In the 90's there was an add-on that allowed anyone to comment on any webpage: http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~orit/utok.html http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~orit/utok.html Although imagine having such a tool nowadays and opening cnn.com, it'd be like walking into a MAGA rally.

The problem with Youtube as I see it is that these comments never rise to the top. It's always compliments and ass-kissing and high-fives that make it there. Twitter tends to gravitate towards the opposite. It's all fascinating though.

That's because they have engineered their comment system in a way that comments the AI perceives as negative are shadow-banned or buried deep down so people don't get a chance to read them.
