It's the MSM bullshit the people are saying no to.

This 100%. Even under the existing system dislikes count as engagement.
he just copired this much older comments idea
and? its a good idea.
If you want to watch youtube videos, check out Invidious. A website that allows you to watch youtube videos without youtube.
I think they disabled comments on most “mainstream” things (yadda yadda, the excuse YT will give is that “creators” can decide whether they want to allow comments or not) waaaaay before this announcement, sadly…
So even that isn’t an option.
YouTube is becoming a censored, whitewashed (in the sense of blancmange, rather than “white people”), “endless present”, walled garden sort of place, and it’s rather sad…
“Don’t be evil - yeah, we’d better scrap that before they catch on”, says Google…
Ahahaha fuck I hate them so much. 😒
At least, that’s the case where I live…
No idea if YouTube applies different Beta “rule changes” in different countries, as a test, but I’m sure they probably do. Like app companies (fucking InstaFace, for one) do.
I read elsewhere the dislikes will still be visible to the creator, just not to the general public. So that given reason is complete bullshit if this is true.
Also Ghostbusters trailer.
Before: 321k likes, 1.1m dislikes
Now: 321k likes.
They're salty that their idiocy gets downvotes so they pretend they're the victims. It's not 'dislike attacks' people just think woke is dumb.
Just like in 2014 or so when news sites started removing their comment sections. The excuse given is to prevent 'abuse', but the real reason is stop people countering the prescribed narrative.
They don't want the plebs being able to tell how unpopular something is. They want the plebs unable to hear eachother, and only able to hear the propaganda machine.
The noose keeps tightening.
Globalized slavery to an international elite is the goal.
