The algorithm is optimising for view time, I think that's far more of a variable than Dislikes, and people will dislike content but still watch a significant portion of it.
- cardanome 2y agoYeah, that is what I meant when I said it is optimizing for engagement i.e. view time. Early youtube algo did take dilikes into accound and tried to optimize for quality. Dislikes are effectively disabled. A high dislike count isn't something content creators need to worry about, hence the more extrem content.
- hhh 2y agoIt is something they need to worry about. It’s just less effective for brigading videos. Except now those people over-focus on the chrome extension that records the like:dislike ratio of videos (of extension users only) and they end up filtering themselves by thinking it’s authoritative for the overall view population.
