They're going the OPPOSITE DIRECTION from this!! They recently removed all downvote visibility of YouTube videos from the user, so now downvotes only feed into their algorithm. So in the last line of defense of me ending up watching a shitty video, one of the most valuable tools has been removed by my betters. It's preposterous that people think that Google is doing a good job. They're actively getting worse, and ignoring everyone saying so.
- asiachick 5y agoThey're doing a great job. I'm so happy dislike visibility have been removed. It removes the effectiveness of pile on coordinated harassment which many youtubers have fallen victim too.
- slig 5y agoExcept the ratio is visible for the video creator, so they know nonetheless. And there's the possibility of disabling the the like/dislike for each video. All the big channels I follow are mad at this change, and there's a coordinated effort to bring it back.
