It wasn't long ago that many of the official US news outlets consistently had their videos severely vote ratioed. YouTube then removed the dislike count, allegedly to protect small creators from being brigaded. The puzzling part of that explanation was in their addendum, "creators can still view the dislike count" The war on "disinformation" marches on. I doubt many skeptics will be won over by this latest tactic. Those with establishment biases can already choose their favored outlets. This raises the obvious questions: Who is this feature aimed at? Will it become mandatory? Will content be further restricted on the basis of truthiness?
