Just like that the single purpose I use youtube for - to actually learn shit that is useful from people who give good advice - is just gone into the ether. Now I have no fucking idea if the video I'm getting into is going to be a total waste of time or not.

I never used it. It's an extra step when I can just click out of the video.

It's a really short-sighted decision, clearly made to appease the egos of major companies and their terrible ad campaigns.

Most of the ultra-disliked videos were from big brands, YouTube itself, or scammers.

Pretty sure most youtube grifters have videos with a pretty high like to dislike ratio, so not sure this was the best way to go anyway.

Not hard to tell if it's a waste of time by just looking at likes how long ago a video was posted how many views it has and general ideas from the comments

I never used it but I looked at it. Anything less than 60% and you know the video you're about to watch is completely off topic, ridiculously wrong or some shitty clickbait.

"Use me as a dislike button" has been a thing since at least IG. Maybe it'll pick up there

There's an extension for your browser that re-implements the Dislike count via estimation from various sources. It's not a perfect solution, but it's at least better than nothing.

Maybe that's a work-around, but you know what'd be better than that?

A visual representation. Like a two colored bar, or something, where the likes are one color and the dislikes are another and the ratio is immediately visible.

They should implement something like that.

I like how YouTube does this to apparently make sure that content creators won't get their feelings hurt by the dislikes, yet the creator can still see them in their channel studio page. Pretty superfluous if you ask me.

But then again, it's no secret that YouTube has even bigger agenda for this change.

it's funny because even one of the original creators of YT hates the new change.

anyways i just refer to view to like ratio now. like there's something going on if a video has say a few million views and only has a couple of thousand likes.

Is it just a coincidence that this happened right after that Coke ad got buried under dislikes, or is it really that transparent?

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you posted will be misquoted, then be used against you.

I watch a lot of self-help videos. The dislike bar made it easier to weed out the bad ones. This change sucks.
