Re-Enabling the dislike button would help too
It was removed because Biden got too many downvotes. It’ll be back soon. It was stupid of them to take it away.
That’s not why it was removed
It was removed not long after one of their Rewind vids was disliked to hell.
And it ain’t coming back, at least they haven’t so much as hinted at it
Nah, that’s what they told you and you believed. Don’t be a fool for the media. It’s a bad look.
Whoa this guy’s badass.
He knows what’s really going on, and it just happens to always be opposite of whatever “the media” says.
Crazy but true. Keep being a follower. See how that works out for you.
Ooooh boy it must feel super special to have this secret knowledge that nobody else but you can seem to keep up with. Almost as if it’s bullshit.
Tell me, based my one reply to you, who am I following? Is anyone who disagrees with you automatically a “follower”? That would seem a little too convenient, no?
The fact is you’re a basic-ass, run of the mill contrarian. Most of us have learned how to deal with people like you in our real lives, but it’s always a little bit sad to see someone who clearly doesn’t have anyone in their life to tell them to shut the fuck up every now and then.
So here, I’ll do everyone a service: Shut the fuck up.
Continuing to speak is a bad look on you.
You talk shit out of your ass.
I talk truth in my own thoghts. You speak lies in talking points you were told to say. And you do. Be smarter. Don’t follow the herd.
I am glad to see that in his personal bankruptcy, Alex Jones has decided to spend the free time here on Lemmy…
Welcome to have you, Ale, I can’t wait to hear more about the chicken fried steak that God talked to you through.

Alright, why do you think that google would remove dislikes becausr of biden
I don’t think it. It’s true. The reason is because they were pushing his agenda. They’ve already admitted that. They removed it because he was getting too many. Just because you disagree doesn’t make me wrong because that is straight truth.
So now we have to read a community note to know a video is garbage instead of just seeing a massive dislike bar and clicking off?
Didn’t they take away the dislike button?
The removed the dislike count a couple years ago, so you can no longer see if a video is terrible.
“Return YouTube Dislike” extension for Firefox and Chrome.
Works surprisingly well even after all this time. I often forget its been removed.
It isn’t a real count of users who have clicked the dislike button, YouTube no longer makes that data available.
So I would not put much stock in that number.
I’m well aware of how it works.
Then why put any stock in it whatsoever
LOL definitely a real comment by a real person. Dislike bar…
Yeah, the dislike bar used to be a thing. You could see how many dislikes there were compared to likes, all represented on a line below the two buttons. It was sort of like this image, except imagine the “yes” and “no” as a single line (but retaining their separate colors).
Wait till you tell him youtube used to have a 5-star rating system
The dislike bar was real, I’ll tell ya, I’ve lived nigh on eighty years and me own two eyes seent the dislike bar clear as day! Ye better believe, sonny, it’s the truth!
I don’t see what was wrong with the comment of /u/voyajer. Can you elaborate?
It was a bar that showed the ratio of likes to dislikes
So we can explicitly graffiti videos but we can’t add translations. 🤯
Advertisers working in your native language cannot hijack your attention when foreign language videos are running. Subtitling facilitates that, and encourages site activity that differs from consumption, such as broadening one’s horizons and being inquisitive about the real world.
I feel like this is what the comment section is used for.
Can the channel owner delete comments on their videos?
Yes, as well as automatically hiding new comments.
which is unfortunate, i think YT does it to save paid labor on moderating comments, but this allows video posters to upload misleading info and delete correcting replies, which also pairs well with hidden thumbs down
It also allows uploaders to stop hate filled posting, like incels trashing the comments on anything positive about female characters in media.
Honestly, I’d rather the channel have the first say here. It would be even better if some independent mod team could override channel owners though if there are enough reports.
Enough reports is how brigades are effective.
There isn’t a great solution that solves all the possibilities, it is a difficult problem. An independent mod team sounds great until you get into the details of how they are formed and the fact that they are people too who might miss nuance or hold their own shitty opinions.
It also allows uploaders to stoke hate with their videos and delete reasonable takes and people calling out misinformation in the comments.
Which one is worse depends on the context of the video.
lol, considering the “quality” content in the comments section it’s just going to be a continuation of that dumpster fire.
I would never go as far as to say that they’re “quality,” but I do think YT comment sections aren’t the complete shitshow that they were a decade or so ago. It really does depend on the channel though too.
So more virtue signal crap. Got it.
Users provided additional context to this reply:
This guy is a dumbass lmao
You sound stupid when you don’t have independent thought. Maybe not here in this circle jerk but in the real world.
…Must have been the wind.
