Which is really a shame considering how many informational(ish) videos are on YT. Downvoting was really helpful to tell, when you search for "How do I unblock my sink drain" who is full of crap. Downvoting on opinion, social and gaming videos serves no purpose.
Twitter as a platform which has no ability to store and reliably surface informational or factual messages is completely devoid of the types of content where peer feedback is helpful - the only thing tweet scores measure is "hotness" which could be entirely opaque to the user base (both up and down).

- GauntletWizard 5y agoIt's only going to work for a couple of months, because YouTube has promised that the API will start returning zero for that number fairly soon. They have not committed to a date, and I doubt they will, simply roll it out when they feel they can.
- alexb_ 5y agoThe API already returns 0. The extension uses extrapolation of it's user statistics to estimate.
