I have no context. Why is there a lot of dislikes?
---

The context is right there. The video is about black history. Youtube is an alt right breeding ground. Comments are what you'd expect.

ah yes, trolling. clearly this is some harmless trolling and they mean none of it haha
---

its amazing how fragile they are..."hey we're going to celebrate black history" somehow means "its not ok to be white" to those idiots...and its easy to say "lol they just TROLLIN and they GOT YOU"...sure i'm sure some are...but we've seen that many people seriously think and act that way. Its incredibly sad....also, there is some reality to every troll. Maybe they don't see it as an attack on white people, but they dislike this so much that they feel the need to troll it as a joke. that in itself is a sad, miserable life.

the video just says Youtube is celebrating Black History Month by getting content creators on Youtube to discuss BHM and putting it on their spotlight section....That's it.

The fake forced corporate YouTube bullshit usually gets downvoted. People feel tricked because they click on the YouTube icon in the upper left corner and it takes them to shit they don't want to see.

so they're so upset that clicking the wrong portion of the icon wasted a few seconds of their time so rather than click the back button and get back to where they want to be they decide to waste more time disliking the video and commenting some racist garbage on it? yea makes sense...definitely how well adjusted people behave....
---

Sure. Possibly. I've done it before. I forget what it was about tbh.

I mean, this downvoted video automatically starts playing if you've had the misfortune of clicking a little far to the right on the YouTube icon. It's absolutely a trick by YouTube. People don't like getting tricked.

yeah thats definitely the reason for the dislikes

mmmmhmm

If anybodys looked at Vice s*** recently they actually have some videos where they disabled comments.

Same for TED Talks and some of the Ivies. TED was actually pretty pissed about it and lectured youtube in its comments, saying the site was too dangerous for free commentary and was not a safe space. It was a little funny.

I remember back in the old days when liberals said everyone on the internet would inevitably be liberal through the spread of True Facts and it was only a matter of time before Texas turned blue, and the only reason anyone hadn't succumbed to liberalism yet was because the internet still needed to reach redneck shacks where they presumably had no power or access to information. Whole lotta condescending stuff like that.

But now reality's hit and their social justice videos are getting downvoted to oblivion.

Why does it make you triggered if it has a lot of thumbs down

It's a shitty little nothing video. There's nothing sacred about it.

It's pretty easy to hit Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down on a video. It's no skin off their back to hit thumbs down

I think I just lost IQ points.

idc about the dislikes (though its obvious why its being disliked. and its not the bullshit answer you've given). the comments are obviously the issue here.

I wasn't saying literally 100% of it is trolling.

The problem is that anyone with half a brain knows stuff like this is a magnet for people who want to stir shit up. Obviously I don't know what fraction of the hate is pure trolling, but by acting like it's all serious, you're still falling into a very blatant trap.

Once again, YouTube reaps what they sow.
