I think that seeing a overwhelmingly positive like to dislike ratio might hide signals that what you're viewing is propaganda.
"If so many people like this, it probably has value."
"There is always a few dislike from haters, safe to discard them."
- farias0 5y agoYes! I'm against this decision, but dislikes are so unreliable as indicators of propaganda that they might as well not be there. All they indicate is how the video was received by its audience (duh), and decent propaganda is designed to rig this game. The only times I remember seeing a high dislike-to-like ratio are on things that went viral in the wrong circles, so internet decided to mass-downvote the for inconsequential reasons, like Rebecca Black's Friday or the announcement for some video game that isn't made to appeal to the "core gaming public".
